Patients diagnosed with cervical cancer face several treatment options, depending on the physical examination and the imaging modality results. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) was proposed as an imaging option to determine local spread of cervical tumors, along with magnetic resonance imaging, also by recently released International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics recommendations. We examined whether combined data from physical examination, high‐detail TVS, and positron emission tomography with 18F‐labeled fluoro‐2‐deoxyglucose and computed tomography (18F‐FDG PET/CT) may contribute to triage efficiency of cervical cancer patients.
