Summary:

Magnetic resonance imaging is now established as an invaluable imaging modality. Its marvellous contrast resolution has made it particularly useful for the evaluation of patients with cancer. MRI Manual of Pelvic Cancer has been compiled to provide clinical radiologists with a working knowledge and a comprehensive set of top quality images of the various pelvic cancers. There are introductory chapters on pelvic cancer staging, MRI technique and pelvic anatomy. Other chapters deal with cancer arising in the various locations within the pelvis. There is a short account of each disease and a set of images demonstrating the tumour, node and metastasis stages based on the most recent revision of the Union Internationale Contre le Cancer (UICC) and American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Cancer Staging Manuals published in 2002. There are also images highlighting pitfalls in the MRI diagnosis and staging of each cancer, as well as illustrations of recurrent disease and appearances following chemo-radiotherapy. The two final chapters discuss and illustrate imaging before exenterative surgery and the imaging of metastatic disease within the pelvis. Paul Hulse's and Bernardette Carrington's intention is that MRI Manual of Pelvic Cancer should be used as a bench reference for those radiologists reporting MRI of common and rarer cancers.
