Purpose To compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) with each other and to International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) clinical staging in the pretreatment evaluation of early invasive cervical cancer, using surgicopathologic findings as the reference standard. Patients and Methods This prospective multicenter clinical study was conducted by the American College of Radiology Imaging Network and the Gynecologic Oncology Group from March 2000 to November 2002; 25 United States health centers enrolled 208 consecutive patients with biopsy-confirmed cervical cancer of FIGO stage ≥ IB who were scheduled for surgery based on clinical assessment. Patients underwent FIGO clinical staging, helical CT, and MRI. Surgicopathologic findings constituted the reference standard for statistical analysis. Results Complete data were available for 172 patients; surgicopathologic findings were consistent with FIGO stages IA to IIA in 76% and stage ≥ IIB in 21%. For the detection of advanced stage (≥ IIB), sensitivity was poor for FIGO clinical staging (29%), CT (42%), and MRI (53%); specificity was 99% for FIGO clinical staging, 82% for CT, and 74% for MRI; and negative predictive value was 84% for FIGO clinical staging, 84% for CT, and 85% for MRI. MRI (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC], 0.88) was significantly better than CT (AUC, 0.73) for detecting cervical tumors (P = .014). For 85% of patients, FIGO clinical staging forms were submitted after MRI and/or CT was performed. Conclusion CT and MRI performed similarly; both had lower staging accuracy than in prior single-institution studies. Accuracy of FIGO clinical staging was higher than previously reported. The temporal data suggest that FIGO clinical staging was influenced by CT and MRI findings.

Abstract This study is conducted to observe the diagnostic value of B-mode ultrasound, CT and MRI examinations in preoperative myometrial infiltration of endometrial cancer and lymph node metastasis. Retrospectively analyze 50 cases of the patients from Oct. 2010 to Aug. 2013. Before operation all the patients received dilatation & curettage to determine pathological diagnosis and clinical staging. There were 150 cases of patients who received B-mode ultrasound examination, wherein, 93 cases received CT examination and 57 cases received MRI examination as well. In the diagnosis of MIEC the diagnostic indicies of individual MRI examination were higher than that of individual B-mode ultrasound and CT examinations. Consistency of individual MRI examination with pathological diagnosis was significantly higher than that of B-mode and CT examinations. The sensitivity of CT and MRI was significantly higher than that of B-mode ultrasound examination. However, diagnostic indicators of B-mode ultrasound and CT joint examination were higher than B-mode ultrasound examination alone. The consistency of both with pathological diagnosis was significantly increased. B-mode and CT can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy and has a good consistency with pathological diagnosis, thereby applicable to the clinical diagnosis of preoperative myometrial infiltration of endometrial cancer and lymph node metastasis.

In order to better assist clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of osteosarcoma, and our understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of different examination techniques of DR, CT and MRI, this article collects the pathological diagnosis of the PACS Medical system of Liaocheng People’s Hospital 2015 to 2018. 130 patients with osteosarcoma and imaging examination data, retrospectively analyzed the diagnostic and clinical staging information contained in DR, CT and MRI examination data of osteosarcoma patients, and detected the diagnosis and clinical staging information of osteosarcoma by comparing various examination methods ability to obtain the optimal imaging examination method that can provide complete diagnosis and clinical staging information of osteosarcoma, and is recommended as a routine clinical examination program. Finally, we conclude that: DR, CT, and MRI examinations have no significant differences in the detection capacity of osteosarcoma bone destruction, periosteal response, and periosteal triangle; MRI has less ability to detect tumor bone than DR and CT; DR has soft tissue. The ability to detect masses is inferior to CT and MRI. Among the single DR, CT or MRI examinations, CT examinations have the best comprehensive detection ability for all imaging diagnostic signs of osteosarcoma. MR examination has the best comprehensive display of clinical staging information such as infiltration range and infiltration boundary of osteosarcoma. Combined DR, CT, and MRI examinations are optimized imaging procedures that provide complete osteosarcoma diagnosis and clinical staging information.
