Role of MRI in Differentiating benign Versus Malignant Ovarian Lesions
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: MRI offers supplemental diagnostic information in cases of a suboptimal or equivocal ultrasound examination or in patients in whom there is discrepancy between sonographic findings and physical examination . The study aims to determine the role of MRI in evaluating USG proven ovarian lesions with regards to characterization of lesions as benign or malignant. Material and methods: Patients with suspected pelvis mass, referred to the Radiology Department, SN Medical college, Kochi, underwent UGG(GE Logic P5) and as further, MRI was done at Medical Trust Hospital, Kochi, during January 2015 to December 2016. Total 60 patients were included in the study. Results: In our study out of 60 cases, by MRI 22 (36.7%) cases were diagnosed as malignant and 38(63.3%) cases benign. We had sensitivity of 100% in detecting malignant lesions and specificity was 95%, positive predictive value 90.9% and negative predictive value 100%. The study findings showed excellent correlation with the results obtained by others studies. Conclusions:For ovarian lesions, in whom there is discrepancy between ultrasound findings and physical examination, MRI should be the choice. Usefulness of MRI in evaluating adnexal and uterine masses is due to its high sensitivity and specificity, accurate in finding the origin of mass, and to stage malignancies.
