Currently there’s no accurate and topical peroperative information available on the margin status of wide local resection specimens containing vulvar cancer. In this pilot study we performed a qualitative image evaluation of ex vivo 7T MR images acquired of fresh specimens of the vulva containing vulvar cancer using different MRI sequences. High resolution T2 weighted images obtained the highest score for image quality, visibility of the tumor, and visibility of the transition between the epidermis and the resection surface.
