METHOD OF DIAGNOSING CERVICAL TUMOURS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B5/55 A61K49/06 A61K31/718 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, radiodiagnostics and can be used for detection and evaluation of extension of cervical tumours by means of magnetic-resonance tomography with application of intravaginal contrasting viscous substance (IVCVS). First, carried out is native examination of area of interest with analysis of T1 fast spin-echo SI in sagittal, axial planes and in plane with perpendicular location of examination axis to tumour, as well as coronary T2 SI in mode with fat-suppression. After that, performed is dynamic examination with contrast amplification in the same planes. Double contrasting is performed, which includes intravenous introduction of contrasting preparation gadolinium and intravaginal introduction of IVCVS, as such used is colloidal starch solution with viscosity 55000-65000 cP in volume 80-120 ml. Dynamic scanning is started when contrasting preparation in visualised in terminal part of abdominal aorta.

EFFECT: method ensures high accuracy of evaluation of tumour extension, increase of visualising image characteristics due to contrasting light background with respect to dark vagina wall, reduction of IVCVS allergenicity.
