OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to assess the accuracy of MRI in detecting pelvic and paraaortic lymph node metastasis from uterine cervical cancer using various imaging criteria.

CONCLUSION. Although MRI analysis resulted in relatively low sensitivity, size and margin (spiculated or lobulated) were useful criteria for predicting lymph node metastasis from cervical cancer.

Keywords: cancer • lymph nodes • MRI • oncologic imaging • paraaortic lymph node • pelvic lymph node • uterine cervical cancer
