New concepts in endometrial cancer treatment emphasize the value of MRI as a major predictor of lymph node metastasis and tumour recurrence. MRI findings aid in triaging patients for a more tailored therapeutic regimen.This review discusses the value of MRI in the preoperative assessment of endometrial cancer and provides a practical approach how to image and report endometrial cancer. Practical tips are provided how to increase the diagnostic accuracy in staging of endometrial cancer and how to avoid pitfalls.
