Diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging for malignant ovarian tumors mis-subclassified by the ultrasound-based ADNEX model.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Accurately predicting metastatic cancer to the adnexa, stage I and advanced ovarian cancer before surgery is crucial. The ADNEX model, based on ultrasound, is currently the only prediction model that can differentiate between these types. This study aims to analyze MRI features and diagnostic value in malignant ovarian tumors mis-subclassified by the ADNEX model, considering their diverse histopathologic types.

Methods

From January 2018 to September 2022, 164 patients with pathologically confirmed ovarian malignancies were selected from those who were examined by ultrasound. The clinical and MRI characteristics of 51 patients mis-subclassified by the ADNEX model were compared with histopathological types.

Results

A total of 30 were confirmed with primary ova
