Do MRI structured reports with FIGO classifications of leiomyomas contain adequate information for clinical decision making?

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate if structured reports (SR) of pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans using the PALM-COEIN FIGO (the International Federation of Gynecology & Obstetrics) uterine leiomyomas classification (SR-FIGO) contain adequate information for clinical decision making compared with narrative reports (NR).

Methods

Three reporting templates for pelvic MRI scans were compared: NR, SR without the PALM-COEIN FIGO classification of leiomyomas, and SR-FIGO, for presence of 19 key-features (KF) deemed relevant for leiomyoma management. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to evaluate KF distribution across the report types. One gynecologist and one gynecologist-in-training evaluated the reports and MRI scans to assess the presence of sufficient information to decide on: (1) t
