Abstract

Objective Using statistical analysis results of MRI findings in cases with ovarian tumors comparison with that of surgery and pathology,to evaluate the value of MRI in differentiating benign and malignant ovarian tumors and the value of MRI in the preoperative staging of ovarian cancer. Methods Total 83 cases with ovarian tumors proven by surgery and pathology had been reviewed and studied retrospectively. The MRI features of ovarian tumor and the MRI stages of ovarian cancer were analyzed statistically and compared with the results of pathology. Results MRI clearly show the morphological,molecular biological and histological features of ovarian tumors. The accuracy of MRI in diagnosing ovarian tumors was 95.2%, the accuracy of MRI in diagnosing benign tumors was 96.9%, the accuracy of MRI in diagnosing malignant tumors was 81%.The staging accuracy of MRI in ovarian cancer was 73.3%. Conclusion There is significant value for MRI in qualitative diagnosis of ovarian tumors and preoperative staging of ovarian cancer.
