Prognosis for endometrial carcinoma is closely related to cell type and tumor grade but also to local staging using the FIGO classification. MRI, under specific technical conditions, allows excellent depiction of the degree of myometrial tumor extension. It also has an excellent specificity for the detection of cervical extension. In addition, it allows evaluation of regional nodes, but with sensitivity values that are not perfect. The purpose of this paper is to review the MR imaging features of endometrial carcinoma along with its limitations and pitfalls.
