Value of MRI in Characterizing Adnexal Masses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) increases the specificity of imaging evaluation for adnexal masses, especially when they are indeterminate on ultrasound, very large or when further imaging is required to establish tissue characteristics. This article is a pictorial essay describing the value of MRI in characterizing adnexal masses.

Adnexal masses are spectrum of diseases from benign non neoplastic and neoplastic masses to malignant neoplasms. Endovaginal ultrasonography (US) is the fisrt and invaluable modality for assessment of adnexal masses because it is available and has a high negative predictive value. Important morphologic features are solid (vascularized) tissue, vascular and thick septations, and papillary projec...
