Off-line magnetic resonance imaging navigation of cervix cancer brachytherapy in patients with risk factors for uterine perforation.
Conclusions: Using pre-insertion MRI, we found ≥ 2 risk factors for uterine perforation in 1/3 of patients. Off-line MRI navigation was feasible and enabled non-complicated insertion in all cases. Further studies with larger sample size are warranted to assess its clinical efficacy.
