Cervical Carcinoma<br />

Diagnoses: Female <strong>Pelvis</strong><br />

(Left) Longitudinal<br />

transabdominal ultrasound<br />

shows an enlarged cervix ſt<br />

relative to the uterus st in a<br />

patient with profuse vaginal<br />

bleeding. (Right) Sagittal<br />

transvaginal ultrasound of the<br />

same patient shows the cervix<br />

ſt to be enlarged <strong>and</strong><br />

hyperechoic to the<br />

myometrium st. The<br />

endometrium is thin.<br />

(Left) Coronal oblique<br />

transvaginal ultrasound of the<br />

same patient shows that the<br />

mass ſt infiltrates the entire<br />

cervix. Small cystic foci are<br />

present st. (Right) Coronal T2<br />

FSE MR parallel to the<br />

endometrium in a patient with<br />

HIV <strong>and</strong> CIN 3 shows the<br />

normal cervical high signal<br />

mucosa ſt <strong>and</strong> intact low<br />

signal intensity stroma st.<br />

(Left) Coronal oblique TSE<br />

perpendicular to the cervix<br />

("doughnut" view) shows a<br />

mass with intermediate T2<br />

signal intensity st that<br />

extends through the cervical<br />

stroma ſt on the right <strong>and</strong><br />

into the parametrium. (Right)<br />

Axial FDG PET/CT of the same<br />

patient shows increased<br />

metabolic activity in the<br />

primary tumor ſt (SUV 15.6)<br />

posterior to the bladder st.<br />
