MRI using special Vaginal Coil can detect Early Cervical Cancer

Studies show that endocavitatory MRI using a special vaginal coil can detect the occurence as well as the extend of early cervical cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 11,070 women in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer in 2008.
New studies show that Endocavitatory MRI using special vaginal coil can spot small vaginal lesions thus enabling early detection of cervical cancer. It also accurately demarcates the extent of the tumour which is essential before taking a decision about fertility conserving surgery.
The MRI uses the "diffusion-weighted imaging” to detect the tumour by measuring measure the movement of water within cervical tissue while the ring coil enables higher resolution during the MRI. The diffusion of water is reduced in cancerous tissue versus normal tissue.
The study author is Dr. Nandita deSouza, co-director of the MRI Unit at the Institute of Cancer Research and Royal Marsden Hospital, in London.
The entire procedure takes just about 15 minutes and is advised to patients with positive Pap smear.
