Node-RADS for preoperative locoregional nodal staging of endometrial cancer: reproducibility and accuracy assessment using CT and MRI
Question Preoperative assessment of nodal metastases by EC is difficult, but it may help in tailoring the best surgical approach for each patient. Findings Node-RADS is a reliable tool for assessing the presence of pelvic nodal metastases by EC, both on CT and MRI, among experienced readers. Clinical relevance The use of Node-RADS among experienced readers enables detection of nodal metastases with good sensitivity and excellent specificity; MRI should be preferred over CT due to its higher sensitivity.
