This is a two arm, single center feasibility study of 20 patients with non-metastatic cervical cancer managed with surgery and/or chemoradiation therapy at UNC Hospitals. Subjects will undergo PET/MRI scans before, during (chemoradiation group only), and after treatment.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of obtaining complete and interpretable hybrid PET/MR images for patients diagnosed with cervical cancer.
