Summary
Introduction
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a well-established modality for the evaluation of the female pelvis. Accepted clinical applications at 1.5T include staging of gynecologic malignancies, evaluation of congenital uterine anomalies, evaluation pre and post uterine artery embolization, evaluation of adnexal masses, and problem-solving difficult cases. As 3T MR imaging systems become increasingly available for routine clinical use, female pelvic imaging applications are emerging. This chapter will discuss 3T female pelvic imaging to include the advantages and disadvantages, commonly used sequences, and current clinical applications.
