Abstract Recent developments in diagnostic imaging techniques have magnified the role and potential of MRI in female pelvic imaging. Functional imaging by means of dynamic multiphase contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE - MRI) and diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW - MRI) is now part of the standard imaging protocols for evaluation of the female pelvis. In this review, we give an overview of both DCE - MRI and DW - MRI techniques, concentrating on their main clinical application in preoperative staging and their role in tailoring treatment options and therapy in patients with uterine malignancies. We were aiming to compare DW - MRI with DCE - MRI in a way to highlight the most cost effective method in management of patients with uterine malignancy |
