[Use of low-field MR tomography in the comprehensive diagnosis of diseases of the small pelvis]

Abstract

A comprehensive examination (ultrasonography, computed and magnetic resonance tomography) was made in 179 patients with small pelvic diseases. It demonstrated the high informative value of low-field MR tomography in the detection of small pelvic abnormalities, its advantages over other radiation diagnostic techniques in defining the stage of development of tumorous lesions of these organs. The application of paramagnetic contrast agents provides additional information, particularly in volumetric lesions of the uterus and urinary bladder.
