Sažetak

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a widely used imaging modality that depicts detailed information regarding morphological and functional characteristics of the human body. It is routinely used in gynaecologic oncology for female pelvis imaging because of the high spatial and soft-tissue contrast resolution. Furthermore, MRI is an important diagnostic tool for the assessment of common gynaecological malignancies - endometrial carcinoma, cervical carcinoma and malignant ovarian tumours. Novel technical developments enabled the multiparametric MRI approach in the diagnosis of respective tumours combining T1-weighted (T1W) sequences, T2-weighted (T2W) sequences, diffusion-weighted (DW) sequences with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) sequences. With highlighted novelties, MRI importance ranges from tumour detection to treatment response monitoring and early recurrent disease evaluation. This review discusses the value of MRI in the diagnostic assessment of the common gynaecological malignancies with an¬¬ emphasis on tumour staging.
