Abstract:
Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common malignancies among women,and its incidence tends to be younger,posing a serious threat to women's lives and health.Early and accurate diagnosis and staging are crucial for formulating treatment plans and improving patient survival rates.As a non-invasive,high-resolution imaging technique,magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in the diagnosis and staging of cervical cancer.This article will review the advances in the application of functional MRI techniques in cervical cancer,including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and its derivative sequences,elastography,amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) imaging,and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI.
