Abstract

Evaluation of pelvic pathology is an important part of most radiology practices. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has proven itself to be a useful and cost-effective method in evaluating many of these diseases. This article reviews appropriate MR imaging techniques and findings of common gynecologic disorders. Uterine pathology is categorized into congenital anomalies, benign lesions (leiomyomas, adenomyosis, endometrial polyps, and nabothian cysts), and malignancies (endometrial and cervical carcinoma). Adnexal pathology reviewed includes endometriosis, polycystic ovaries, teratomas, and benign and malignant ovarian epithelial tumors.
