Added Value of Assessing Adnexal Masses with Advanced MRI Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
This review will present the added value of perfusion and diffusion MR sequences to characterize adnexal masses. These two functional MR techniques are readily available in routine clinical practice. We will describe the acquisition parameters and a method of analysis to optimize their added value compared with conventional images. We will then propose a model of interpretation that combines the anatomical and morphological information from conventional MRI sequences with the functional information provided by perfusion and diffusion weighted sequences.

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...

متن کاملValue of MRI in Characterizing Adnexal Masses.
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.
