Abstract
Continuing technical advances in clinical radiology maintain the essential role of radiology in the management of gynaecological conditions. Multiple imaging modalities are utilised to investigate the female pelvis including: ultrasound; computed tomography; magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography/computed tomography. Each modality has a different role in screening, diagnosis, staging, treatment selection and follow-up. This review discusses these imaging techniques, their recommended roles and how these modalities are best employed in the imaging of the female pelvis. The imaging findings of common female pelvic pathology are also discussed and illustrated.
