Uterine Cancer Detection: MRI
An innovative diagnostic technology, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is frequently used in our cancer hospitals to map the exact location of uterine cancer cells within the body. By understanding where your body is affected by uterine cancer, CTCA radiologists and oncologists can identify the type and stage of your uterine cancer to determine which treatments may be best suited to your needs.
The main component of most MRI systems is a life-sized, tube-shaped magnet. Patients are placed directly inside the MRI system, which then uses magnetic energy and radio waves to perform a full-body scan. MRI creates cross-sectional images of your body, which allows our physicians to pinpoint the location of cancerous cells. Our physicians can determine whether these cells are confined solely to your uterus, or if they have spread to other areas of your body.
