Thirteen patients with clinical stages I and II endometrial carcinoma were examined with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging before surgery. Depth of invasion and stage of disease were assessed, and the results were compared with those from MR images of the surgical specimens and pathologic findings. Staging with MR imaging was accurate in 11 of 13 patients (85%). Our results agree with previous reports that MR imaging is an accurate, noninvasive method of assessing depth of myometrial invasion and cervical involvement. We anticipate that MR imaging will have an increasing role in treatment of patients with endometrial carcinoma.
