Abstract

Currently, there is a significant increase in the use of computed tomography (CT) and particularly of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis, staging, treatment response, and detection of potential recurrence in patients with gynecological cancer. The aim of this chapter is to review the diagnostic efficacy of these imaging modalities in the evaluation of endometrial and uterine cervical cancer.
