This article reviews the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting Data System Magnetic Resonance Imaging (O-RADS MRI) score for the characterization of indeterminate ovarian masses. We aim to provide sufficient information to enable readers to apply the score efficiently in clinical practice. To this end, we review the indications of the O-RADS MRI score and the specific MRI protocol that must be applied. We review all the categories of the score, illustrating them through examples. Finally, we show the most common errors and pitfalls during the learning curve, providing the keys to avoiding them.

Value of MRI-Based Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System for the Diagnosis of Adnexal Masses.

Zhongguo Yi Xue Ke Xue Yuan Xue Bao

December 2024

Department of Radiology,The Central Hospital of Wuhan,Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology,Wuhan 430014,China.

Objective To assess the value of the MRI-based ovarian-adnexal reporting and data system (O-RADS MRI) for the diagnosis of adnexal masses. Methods A total of 407 patients who underwent dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE)-MRI and pathological examination (gold standard) at the Department of Radiology,Central Hospital of Wuhan between May 2017 and December 2022 were enrolled in this study.Two radiologists performed the O-RADS MRI scoring of adnexal masses according to MRI features and calculated the malignancy rate of adnexal masses by O-RADS MRI score,enhancement type,and mass type.

Background: To assess the effectiveness of tumor biomarkers in distinguishing epithelial ovarian tumors (EOTs) and guiding clinical decisions across each Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) MRI risk category, the aim is to prevent unnecessary surgeries for benign lesions, avoid delays in treating malignancies, and benefit individuals requiring fertility preservation or those intolerant to over-extensive surgery.

Methods: A total of 54 benign, 104 borderline, and 203 malignant EOTs (BeEOTs, BEOTs and MEOTs) were enrolled and retrospectively assigned risk scores. The role of tumor biomarkers in diagnosing and managing EOTs within each risk category was evaluated by combining receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves with clinicopathological characteristics.

Characterisation of an indeterminate ovarian mass is important as it guides management and clinical outcomes. Ultrasound is the first-line modality in the assessment of ovarian tumours. When ovarian masses are indeterminate on ultrasound, MRI provides excellent resolution in tissue characterisation and enhancement patterns.

Purpose: The O-RADS malignancy risk stratification of typical ovarian dermoid cysts by using a 10 cm threshold is based on expert consensus rather than analysis of objective clinical data. This comprehensive scoping review consolidated all currently available studies evaluating typical benign ovarian dermoid cyst size and risk for malignant transformation.

Methods: A systematic review of MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus and the Cochrane library was performed from inception to January 14, 2024, using PRISMA-ScR guidelines.

Importance: Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of negligence claims in radiology. The objective of this document is to describe the specific main causes of errors in breast imaging and provide European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) recommendations to try to minimize these.

Observations: Technical failures represent 17% of all mammographic diagnostic negligence claims.
