N2 - Accurate oncological staging for early detection is of utmost importance in patient care and increasing the overall patient survival outcome. Hybrid imaging in the form of positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography has been successfully implemented in oncological imaging and, where available, has been used consistently in patients with gynecologic malignancies. The implementation of PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables high-quality assessment of gynecological malignancies by combining the diagnostic advantages of metabolic information of PET along with the high-resolution anatomical and functional information from the MRI to provide precise information about staging, recurrence, and metastases. This article will review the various applications of PET/MRI in gynecological cancer.
