[Abstract] Cervical cancer is a common tumor in the female reproductive system. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy is considered as a standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). At present, MRI have become the most commonly used examination for evaluating the treatment response of cervical cancer. MRI, not only provides anatomical information for the clinic, but also provides more valuable parameters by using functional imaging. It can evaluate the treatment response of radiotherapy and chemotherapy early and provide a base for clinically developing the optimal treatment plan. This article reviews the application of new MRI technology in the evaluation treatment response of cervical cancer.
