MRI is a non-invasive imaging technology that produces three-dimensional detailed anatomical images. It is particularly useful for imaging soft tissues and organs, making it an essential tool in medical diagnostics.
Utilizes strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate images.
Does not use ionizing radiation, unlike X-rays and CT scans.
Provides high-resolution images that can help detect abnormalities.
The Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) is a standardized system developed by the American College of Radiology for assessing the risk of ovarian and adnexal masses. The purpose of O-RADS is to provide consistent terminology and risk stratification, improve the accuracy of ovarian mass evaluations, and guide clinical management decisions.
However, this characterization system is meant for average-risk patients with no acute symptoms, and is not applicable to high-risk patients. A solution for high-risk patients is needed.
