Indicaciones de la resonancia magnética en el diagnóstico ginecológico

The role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in gynecology has become increasingly important in the last few decades, especially in gynecologic oncology. Currently, there is strong evidence to support the use of this imaging modality in distinct pelvic diseases such as tumors, inflammations and malformations. Recent studies support a growing role for MRI in the diagnosis of breast disease. As shown in the present review, the applicability of MRI in the physiopathology of genital tract diseases seems to be progressively increasing. MRI should therefore be considered as one more option that can be employed in gynecology.
