This is a prospective diagnostic performance study which compares three new imaging methods with the current standard imaging method for the diagnosis of metastatic lymph nodes.
The aim is to demonstrate whether leading edge molecular imaging technologies (FDG-PET/CT, DW-MRI and Fluoro-ethyl-choline (FEC) PET/CT) can identify lymph node metastases with sufficient accuracy to allow non-invasive lymph node staging in patients with endometrial and cervical carcinoma.
