Figure 1a. Normal vaginal cuff after hysterectomy in a 46-year-old woman with stage IIA cervical carcinoma. (a) Axial T1-weighted spin-echo MR image (repetition time msec/echo time msec = 500/8) obtained through the vaginal cuff shows linear low signal intensity of the vaginal fornices (arrows). (b) Axial T2-weighted fast spin-echo MR image (3,500/78) obtained at the same level as a shows low signal intensity of the normal muscularis of the vagina (arrows). (c) Sagittal T2-weighted MR image (3,500/78) shows low signal intensity of the muscular layer of the vagina and high signal intensity of the vaginal mucosa. The uterus is absent.
