چکیده
Owing to multiplanar imaging capabilities and excellent tissue characterization, MRI can facilitate definitive diagnosis of benign conditions of the female pelvis. The purpose of this chapter is to review the spectrum of common benign conditions of the female pelvis and to illustrate the MRI features of these conditions, with an emphasis on the key imaging characteristics to suggest accurate diagnoses.

Female Genital Tract Cysts
Cystic diseases in the female pelvis are common. Cysts of the female genital tract comprise a large number of physiologic and pathologic cysts. The majority of cystic pelvic masses originate in the ovary, and they can range from simple, functional cysts to malignant ovarian tumors. Non-ovarian cysts of female genital system are appeared at least as often as ovarian cysts. In this review, we aim...
متن کاملCystic ovarian lesions in SSFP diffusion imaging.
PURPOSE MR assessments of ovarian cystic lesions are usually based on morphological features, signal intensities and enhancement with contrast media. This study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of the steady-state free precession (SSFP) diffusion imaging of cystic ovarian lesions for analyzing cystic contents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-one ovarian cystic lesions in 37 patients were ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to determine the appearance of various cystic ovarian lesions on transvaginal real-time ultrasonographic elastography and to investigate its potential in the differential diagnosis of cystic ovarian lesions. METHODS Twenty six women (age range, 27-71 yr; mean age 42 ± 16 yr) with cystic ovarian masses underwent transvaginal B-mode and Doppler...
متن کاملAspiration cytology of ovarian cysts and cystic neoplasms. A study of 235 aspirates.
OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic value of aspiration cytology in individual cystic lesions of the ovary. STUDY DESIGN During a 42-month period, 235 cystic ovarian lesions were investigated by fine needle aspiration with cytologic examination (FNA). RESULTS Almost 56% (131/235) of the aspirates were devoid of diagnostic cells. The 104 diagnostic aspirates comprised 49 follicular cysts, 4 e...
متن کاملH Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of Cystic Ovarian Lesions
Most female ovarian lesions manifest as cystic masses contain variable contents of fluid. MR image is increasingly used to evaluate theses cystic lesions; malignancy can in some cases be predicted, however, sometimes it is nonspecific for differentiation of benign and malignant lesions. Solid component of ovarian cystic tumors visualized on ultrasonography, CT or MR images strongly supports the...
