MRI is recommended by FIGO for staging of cervical cancer, and thus appropriate visualization of the vaginal vault and cervix is important for accurate staging. MRI has superior soft tissue contrast compared to other imaging modalities. However, when the vaginal vault is decompressed or the prescription angle is off axis, the utility of MRI becomes limited in evaluating cervical cancer. In this abstract, we explore the use of sterile water-based surgical lubricant as a tool to improve visualization of the cervix and associated structures during MRI.
