Abstract :
The study is a cross sectional study conducted during October 2015 to October 2017, comprising of 62 patients with
biopsy proven carcinoma cervix, who were referred to the department of Radiodiagnosis, K.S Hegde Hospital,
Deralakatte, Mangalore. A total of 62 patients who satisfied the inclusion criteria were included in this study. The role of transvaginal sonography
(TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in staging of carcinoma cervix was studied in respect to the various parameters like size of the
lesion, parametrial infiltration, vaginal wall infiltration, pelvic side wall invasion, invasion of bowel and bladder, hydroureteronephrosis, regional
lymph nodes involvement and distant metastases.
In our study Transvaginal sonography (TVS) showed good agreement with Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in staging of carcinoma cervix. A
multi disciplinary approach of combined transvaginal sonography and MRI can be used in staging carcinoma cervix. Though MRI has higher
efficiency than TVS in staging carcinoma cervix, TVS has an advantage of low cost and can be considered as an adjunct for MRI in preoperative or
pre treatment evaluation of carcinoma cervix.
