The Added Role of MR Imaging in Treatment Stratification of Patients with Gynecologic Malignancies: What the Radiologist Needs to Know
TLDR
The purpose of this review is to highlight the added role of MR imaging in the treatment stratification and overall care of patients with endometrial, cervical, or ovarian cancer.Abstract:
Advances in MR imaging techniques, along with the growing role of the radiologist as part of a multidisciplinary treatment-planning team, have become central in tailoring treatment options and frequently lead to modifications in the therapeutic approach in patients with gynecologic malignancies.read more

Pretreatment Radiologically Enlarged Lymph Nodes as a Significant Prognostic Factor in Clinical Stage IIB Cervical Cancer: Evidence from a Taiwanese Tertiary Care Center in Reaching Consensus
Chia-Hao Liu,Szu-Ting Yang,W T Chao,Jeff F. Lin,Na-Rong Lee,Wen-Chun Chang,Yi-Jen Chen,Peng-Hui Wang +7 more
TL;DR: Nearly half of the patients with clinical stage IIB CC had enlarged LNs identified during pretreatment radiologic evaluation, which negatively impacted prognosis, highlighting the need to incorporate CT- or MRI-based LN assessment before treatment for stage IIb CC.

Encoded in vivo time signals from the ovary in magnetic resonance spectroscopy: poles and zeros as the cornerstone for stability of response functions of systems to external perturbations
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral poles and zeros were examined as the key to stability of the system to external excitations in order to eliminate the oversensitivity to alterations in model order K, through systematic examination of poles and zero, as well as Pade-reconstructed total shape spectra.

Preoperative MR staging of cervical carcinoma: are oblique and contrast-enhanced sequences necessary?:
Susanne Fridsten,Ann-Cathrin Hellström,Kristina Hellman,Anders Sundin,Boel Söderén,Lennart Blomqvist +5 more
TL;DR: It is not necessary to perform oblique and contrast-enhanced sequences in small cervical carcinomas, i.e. without parametrial invasion, to avoid erroneous interpretation.
