From: What MRI-based tumor size measurement is best for predicting long-term survival in uterine cervical cancer?

Fig. 2

Graphical illustration of the uterus (a) in the axial oblique (perpendicular to the long axis of the cervix; left) and sagittal plane (right) with a tumor (brown) invading the cervical stroma but confined to the uterine cervix. T2-weighted MRI in the same planes in a 37-year-old patient (FIGO 2018) stage IB2 squamous cell carcinoma (b) and a 23-year-old patient (FIGO 2018) stage IIB squamous cell carcinoma (c) depicts hyperintense cervical tumors. Tumor size was measured as the largest anteroposterior (APimaging) and transverse (TVimaging) diameters in the axial oblique plane, largest diameter parallel to the long axis of the cervical lumen in the sagittal plane (SAGimaging) and maximum tumor diameter (MAXimaging) irrespective of the plane
