Article Description

Differentiating a benign from a malignant adnexal mass would provide a basis for optimal preoperative planning and may also reduce the number of unnecessary laparotomies patients undergoing treatment for benign disease. MRI provides additional information on the composition of soft-tissue masses using differences in MR relaxation properties seen in various types of tissue. More recently developed MRI sequences, like diffusion weighted, susceptibility weighted, and dynamic contrast enhancement sequences provided additional capacities for adnexal lesion tissue characterization.
