Objective To evaluate the value of MRI in evaluating the staging of cervical cancer and parametrial invasion and lymph node metastasis. Methods 84 patients with biopsy-confirmed cervical cancer were selected as a research object. By contrast MRI staging, clinical staging and surgical staging to determine the accuracy of MRI staging in cervical cancer staging, and determine the value of parametrial invasion and lymph node metastasis. Results The accuracy of MRI staging was 82.1%. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of MRI in judging parametrial invasion were 78.3%, 95%, 90.5% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of MRI in judging lymph node metastasis were 83.3%, 97.0%, 82.1% respectively. Conclusion MRI cervical cancer staging is superior to the clinical stage. MRI cervical cancer staging has a unique advantage in judging parametrial invasion and lymph node metastasis. It should be widely applied.
