Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate how effective time-intensity curve (TIC) analysis and subjective visual assessment of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) are when combined with the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) for diagnosing adnexal lesions with solid components.
  • Conducted at multiple centers from September 2021 to December 2022, the study analyzed 180 lesions from 175 women, comparing diagnostic performances using receiver operating characteristic curves.
  • Results showed that integrating CEUS with O-RADS significantly improved diagnostic accuracy (AUC 0.86) compared to O-RADS alone (AUC 0.78), and both CEUS assessment methods (TIC and subjective assessment

Objectives: To evaluate the additional advantages of integrating contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) into the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) ultrasound (US) for the characterization of adnexal lesions with solid components.

Materials And Methods: This prospective multicenter study recruited women suspected of having adnexal lesions with solid components between September 2021 and December 2022. All patients scheduled for surgery underwent preoperative CEUS and US examinations.
