Summary. Twenty-five women with primary carcinoma of the cervix were examined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A number of different pulse sequences with T1 and T2 weighting were employed to determine optimum tissue contrast, and the potential for staging cervical cancer was assessed and compared with the clinical findings. MRI is seen to give a unique view of cervical cancer in particular in stage I and II disease where other imaging techniques have known limitations. In addition, stages III and IV were well seen with demonstration of tumour comparable with that of computerized axial tomography (CT).
