What is the relevance of MRI
detected PSW nodes?
•
325 patients, 38 (11.7%) had MRI-identified
suspicious PSW nodes on baseline MRI scans
•
The size of pelvic nodes was not a factor
•
PSW nodes with either mixed signal or capsular
irregularity were considered to have a high
suspicion of malignancy, whereas those with
neither feature were considered negative for
malignancy – irrespective of size
