Cervix MRI

MRI of the Cervix

A doctor or physician may order an MRI scan of the pelvis to take pictures of the female reproductive organs. This includes the uterus (womb), cervix, ovaries and fallopian tubes. The cervix is the narrow passage forming the lower end of the uterus.

An MRI is useful because it shows healthcare providers what tissue is normal, and what tissue is not.

A quality MRI scan can show radiologists what may be causing your signs and symptoms and it’s important that you find the best machines and radiologists possible to receive the best imaging.

Reasons for a Cervix MRI:

A cervix MRI scan may be done to check for certain cancers or other illness. The MRI may show tissue that has cancer cells and tissue that does not have cancer cells.

A cervix MRI can be used to guide doctors or surgeons during a procedure, such as a biopsy. An MRI scan may be used if surgery is needed to remove a growth or lump.

A MRI scan of the cervix can show healthcare providers how well a treatment for a disease is working and the results of a quality MRI scan can help in the plan for the best treatment forward.
