T1 and T2 maps were acquired at 1.5 T in three cervical cancer patients (52.3±9.0 years) receiving brachytherapy and external beam radiation therapy. Measurements occurred at weeks 1, 3, and 6, where possible. The average T1 values were 1448.2 ± 209.1ms in the uterus and 1242.9 ± 202.4 ms in the tumor tissue (cervical carcinoma). The average T2 values were 86.4 ± 15.6 ms in the uterus and 81.1 ± 20.6 ms in the tumor. There was no significant difference in the T1 and T2 in the uterus and tumor based on an analysis of variance.
