MRI Protocol for Imaging of Endometrial Cancer

MRI Protocol Endometrium

• Axial 
  T1-weighted (upper abdomen and pelvis) 
• Axial 
  oblique (short axis)  
  T2- FSE slice thickness < 4 mm
• Sagittal T2-weighted FSE
• T1-weighted 3D gradient-echo with fat saturation

POST CONTRAST MRI ENDOMETRIUM

• Dynamic Contrast Endometrium T1  Sagital/Oblique axial
• T1-weighted contrast-enhanced 3D gradient-echo with fat saturation

Note:Optimal timing to detect myometrial invasion is ~ 2 minutes following contrast injection.
