AI Article Synopsis
- The article reviews the advantages of using MRI for evaluating adnexal masses during pregnancy.
- MRI helps clarify ambiguous sonography results by identifying specific conditions like leiomyoma, endometrioma, and ovarian edema.
- It is recommended that MRI be used as a supportive tool when ultrasound findings are unclear or inadequate for decision-making.
Article Abstract
Objective: The objective of this article is to provide a practical review of the incremental benefit of MRI in the assessment of adnexal masses in pregnancy.
Conclusion: MRI can assist sonographic assessment of adnexal masses in pregnancy by depicting the characteristic findings of exophytic leiomyoma, red degeneration of leiomyoma, endometrioma, decidualized endometrioma, and massive ovarian edema. Accordingly, MRI should be considered as a useful adjunct when sonography is inconclusive or insufficient to guide management of adnexal masses discovered in pregnancy.
