This study is aimed at formulating a limited magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination protocol for detection and stratification of various female pelvic lesions in a rapid and cost effective manner. Retrospective study was done with 70 female patients, where accuracy of sagittal T2 weighted imaging in characterizing the lesion was compared with complete MRI of pelvis. In 60% of cases (42 out of 70) accurate detection, localization, extent and characterization of lesions were possible with sagittal T2WI sequence alone, without the help of complete MRI pelvis. In remaining 40% cases, organ of origin and extent lesion could be detected on sagittal T2WI. However, complete MRI pelvis with contrast was needed for characterization and diagnosis of the lesion. Our study concluded that sagittal T2W sequence is an easy, rapid and cost-effective method of screening of female pelvic lesions for determining organ of origin, region of organ involved and is extremely useful in lesion detection in low socioeconomic patients in developing countries who cannot afford dedicated MRI pelvis
