TO EVALUATE THE ROLE OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) IN PELVIC MASSES IN FEMALE PATIENTS

Background & Method: Study was conducted at Mediciti Institute of Medical Sciences, Medchal, Telangana number cases studied 30. All clinically suspected female patients with pelvic masses referred to the Department Radio-diagnosis were evaluated. These first subjected Ultrasonography followed by MRI (plain and contrast where ever required). findings compared that Ultrasonography. operative histopathological wherever performed.
 Result: Majority uterocervical lesions on malignant in nature. One case endometrial polyp usg, diagnosed as stage Ib carcinoma, cervical fibroid carcinoma II, 2cases 2 carcinoma.
 Conclusion: In practice USG is primary modality for diagnosing mass. superior ultrasound can be used problem solving tool assessment The multiplanar imaging capability allows accurate identification origin mass, characterization mass(solid, haemorrhagic, fatty fibrous contents).This may obviate surgery or significantly contribute preoperative planning mass
