OBJECTIVES: To evaluate clinical, laboratory, and radiological variables from preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) for their ability to distinguish ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) from non-OCCC and to develop a nomo…

PurposeTo assess the utility of morphologic and quantitative CT features in differentiating abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) from other masses of the abdominal wall.MethodsRetrospective IRB-approved study of 105 consecutive women from two…

PurposeTo determine if second-opinion review of gynaecologic oncologic (GynOnc) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by sub-specialized radiologists impacts patient care.Methods469 second-opinion MRI interpretations rendered by GynOnc radiologi…

ObjectiveThe role of imaging in patients with suspected gynecologic malignancies is to provide an accurate diagnosis to achieve the best and most tailored treatment plan. Uncommon cancers pose a distinct challenge, because current knowledge…

Endometriosis is a common multifocal disease involving a number of anatomic sites in the pelvis. Although laparoscopy is the standard of reference for diagnosis, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a noninvasive method for evaluating areas i…

With the advances in imaging technology and particularly magnetic resonance imaging and spiral computed tomography, questions have been raised whether these expensive modalities are affordable and cost effective. Although individual procedu…

CT and MR imaging can both contribute valuable clinical information in women with benign and malignant ovarian masses; the superior soft tissue contrast and multiplanar capabilities provided by MR imaging make it a valuable tool to evaluate…

Forty-six patients with surgically proved disease (115 leiomyomas, 19 cases of adenomyosis, and 14 endometrial polyps) were studied to determine if gadopentetate dimeglumine-enhanced T1-weighted MR images improve the detection and character…

The value of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at 0.35 T in detecting, characterizing, and staging pelvic endometriosis was prospectively investigated in 30 consecutive women in whom this disease was clinically suspected. MR findings were cor…

To assess the capability of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to enable differentiation of adenomyosis from leiomyoma, a prospective study was performed in 21 premenopausal patients with a strong clinical suggestion of adenomyosis. Histologic…

Magnetic resonance (MR) images of the pelvis in 63 women (40 healthy and 23 with various adnexal diseases) were assessed retrospectively. When imaged with contiguous sections without gaps, adnexa were demonstrated bilaterally in 13 of the 1…

Forty-two women with gynecologic abnormalities were studied with the use of magnetic resonance imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging correctly assessed the origin of the pelvic mass in all patients. In the evaluation of leiomyoma, magnetic re…

The potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was evaluated in 21 female subjects: seven volunteers, 12 patients scanned for reasons unrelated to the lower genitourinary tract, and two patients referred with gynecologic disease. The ute…
