Clinical utility of magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography for diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescent girls.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate ovarian morphology using three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in adolescent girls with and without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Also compare the utility of MRI versus ultrasonography (US) for diagnosis of PCOS.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Urban academic tertiary-care children's hospital.

Patient(s)

Thirty-nine adolescent girls with untreated PCOS and 22 age/body mass index (BMI)-matched controls.

Intervention(s)

Magnetic resonance imaging and/or transvaginal/transabdominal US.

Main outcome measure(s)

Ovarian volume (OV); follicle number per section (FNPS); correlation between OV on MRI and US; proportion of subjects with features of polycystic ovaries (PCOs) on MRI and US.

Result(s)

Magneti
