Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to evaluate the performance of the ovarian-adnexal reporting and data system magnetic resonance imaging (O-RADS MRI) score and perform individual MRI feature analysis for differentiating between benign and malignant ovarian teratomas. METHODS In this institutional review board-approved retrospective study, consecutive patients with a pathology-proven fat-containing ovarian mass imaged with contrast-enhanced MRI (1.5T or 3T) from 2013 to 2022 were included. Two blinded radiologists independently evaluated masses per the O-RADS MRI lexicon, including having a "characteristic" or "large" Rokitansky nodule (RN). Additional features analyzed included the following: nodule size/percentage volume relative to total teratoma volume, presence of bulk/intravoxel fat in the nodule, diffusion restriction in the nodule, angular interface, nodule extension through the teratoma border, presence/type of nodule enhancement pattern (solid versus peripheral), and evidence for metastatic disease. An overall O-RADS MRI score was assigned. Patient and lesion features associated with malignancy were evaluated and used to create a malignant teratoma score. χ2, Fisher's exact tests, receiver operating characteristic curve, and κ analysis was performed. RESULTS One hundred thirty-seven women (median age 34, range 9-84 years) with 123 benign and 14 malignant lesions were included. Mean teratoma size was 7.3 cm (malignant: 14.4 cm, benign: 6.5 cm). 18/123 (14.6%) of benign teratomas were assigned an O-RADS 4 based on the presence of a "large" (11/18) or "noncharacteristic" (12/18) RN. 12/14 malignant nodules occupied >25% of the total teratoma volume (P = 0.09). Features associated with malignancy included the following: age <18 years, an enhancing noncharacteristic RN, teratoma size >12 cm, irregular cystic border, and extralesional extension; these were incorporated into a malignant teratoma score, with a score of 2 or more associated with area under the curve of 0.991 for reviewer 1 and 0.993 for reviewer 2. Peripheral enhancement in a RN was never seen with malignancy (64/123 benign, 0/14 malignant) and would have appropriated downgraded 9/18 overcalled O-RADS 4 benign teratomas. CONCLUSIONS O-RADS MRI overcalled 15% (18/123) benign teratomas as O-RADS 4 but correctly captured all malignant teratomas. We propose defining a "characteristic" RN as an intravoxel or bulk fat-containing nodule. Observation of a peripheral rim of enhancement in a noncharacteristic RN allowed more accurate prediction of benignity and should be added to the MRI lexicon for improved O-RADS performance.

Estimating pathological prognostic factors in epithelial ovarian cancers using apparent diffusion coefficients of functional tumor volume. Eur J Radiol 2024; 176:111514. [PMID: 38776804 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2024.111514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the utility of apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) of whole tumor volume (WTV) and functional tumor volume (FTV) in determining the pathologicalprognostic factors in epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs). METHODS A total of 155 consecutive patients who were diagnosed with EOC between January 2017 and August 2022 and underwent both conventional magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion-weighted imaging were assessed in this study. The maximum, minimum, and mean ADC values of the whole tumor (ADCwmax, ADCwmin, and ADCwmean, respectively) and functional tumor (ADCfmax, ADCfmin, and ADCfmean, respectively) as well as the WTV and FTV were derived from the ADC maps. The univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis were used to assess the correlation between these ADC values and the pathological prognostic factors, namely subtypes, lymph node metastasis (LNM), Ki-67 index, and p53 expression. RESULTS The ADCfmean value was significantly lower in type II EOC, LNM-positive, and high-Ki-67 index groups compared to the type I EOC, LNM-negative, and low-Ki-67 index groups (p ≤ 0.001). Similarly, the ADCwmean and ADCfmean values were lower in the mutant-p53 group compared to the wild-type-p53 group (p ≤ 0.001). Additionally, the ADCfmean showed the highest area under the ROC curve (AUC) for evaluating type II EOC (0.725), LNM-positive (0.782), and high-Ki-67 index (0.688) samples among the given ROC curves, while both ADCwmean and ADCfmean showed high AUCs for assessing p53 expression (0.694 and 0.678, respectively). CONCLUSION The FTV-derived ADC values, especially ADCfmean, can be used to assess preoperative prognostic factors in EOCs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of the O-RADS MRI criteria in the stratification of risk of malignancy of solid or sonographically indeterminate ovarian masses and assess the interobserver agreement of this classification between experienced and inexperienced radiologists. METHODS This single-centre retrospective study included patients from 2019 to 2022 with sonographically indeterminate or solid ovarian masses who underwent MRI with a specific protocol for characterisation according to O-RADS MRI specifications. Each study was evaluated using O-RADS lexicon by two radiologists, one with 17 years of experience in gynaecological radiology and another with 4 years of experience in general radiology. Findings were classified as benign, borderline, or malignant according to histology or stability over time. Diagnostic performance and interobserver agreement were assessed. RESULTS A total of 183 patients with US indeterminate or solid adnexal masses were included. Fifty-seven (31%) did not have ovarian masses, classified as O-RADS 1. The diagnostic performance for scores 2-5 was excellent with a sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 97.4%, 100%, 96.2%, and 100%, respectively by the experienced radiologist and 96.1%, 92.0%, 93.9%, and 94.8% by the inexperienced radiologist. Interobserver concordance was very high (Kappa index 0.92). Almost all the misclassified cases were due to misinterpretation of the classification similar to reports in the literature. CONCLUSION The diagnostic performance of O-RADS MRI determined by either experienced or inexperienced radiologists is excellent, facilitating decision-making with high diagnostic accuracy and high reproducibility. Knowledge of this classification and use of assessment tools could avoid frequent errors due to misinterpretation. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Up to 31% of ovarian masses are considered indeterminate by transvaginal US and 32% of solid lesions considered malignant by transvaginal US are benign. The O-RADs MRI accurately classifies these masses, even when used by inexperienced radiologists, thereby avoiding incorrect surgical approaches. KEY POINTS • O-RADS MRI accurately classifies indeterminate and solid ovarian masses by ultrasound. • There is excellent interobserver agreement between experienced and non-experienced radiologists. • O-RADS MRI is a helpful tool to assess clinical decision-making in ovarian tumours.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is an increasingly valuable sequence in daily clinical practice, providing both functional and morphological information. The use of DWI can help quantify diffusion using the apparent diffusion coefficient, which reflects the physiological features of the tissue and tumor microcirculation. This knowledge is crucial for understanding and interpreting gynecological imaging. This article reviews the clinical utility of DWI for gynecological imaging, highlighting its ability to aid in the detection of endometrial and cervical cancers, as well as tumor extension and metastasis. In addition, DWI can easily detect the solid components of ovarian cancer (including dissemination), assist in the diagnosis of adnexal torsion, and potentially show bone marrow status. Apparent diffusion coefficient measurement is useful for differentiating between endometrial lesions, uterine leiomyomas, and sarcomas, and may provide important information for predicting the prognosis of gynecological cancers.

Improving risk stratification of indeterminate adnexal masses on MRI: What imaging features help predict malignancy in O-RADS MRI 4 lesions? Eur J Radiol 2023; 168:111122. [PMID: 37806193 PMCID: PMC11186047 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2023.111122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) MRI uses a 5-point scale to establish malignancy risk in sonographically-indeterminate adnexal masses. The management of O-RADS MRI score 4 lesions is challenging, as the prevalence of malignancy is widely variable (5-90%). We assessed imaging features that may sub-stratify O-RADS MRI 4 lesions into malignant and benign subgroups. METHOD Retrospective single-institution study of women with O-RADS MRI score of 4 adnexal masses between April 2021-August 2022. Imaging findings were assessed independently by 2 radiologists according to the O-RADS lexicon white paper. MRI and clinical findingswere compared between malignant and benign adnexal masses, and inter-reader agreement was calculated. RESULTS Seventy-four women (median age 52 years, IQR 36-61) were included. On pathology, 41 (55.4%) adnexal masses were malignant. Patients with malignant masses were younger (p = 0.02) with higher CA-125 levels (p = 0.03). Size of solid tissue was greater in malignant masses (p = 0.01-0.04). Papillary projections and larger solid portion were more common in malignant lesions; irregular septations and predominantly solid composition were more frequent in benign lesions (p < 0.01). Solid tissue of malignant lesions was more often hyperintense on T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted imaging (p ≤ 0.03). Other imaging findings were not significantly different (p = 0.09-0.77). Inter-reader agreement was excellent-good for most features (ICC = 0. 662-0.950; k = 0. 650-0.860). CONCLUSION Various MRI and clinical features differed between malignant and benign O-RADS MRI score 4 adnexal masses. O-RADS MRI 4 lesions may be sub-stratified (high vs low risk) based on solid tissue characteristics and CA-125 levels.

Abstract
The Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) MRI risk stratification system provides a standardized lexicon and evidence-based risk score for evaluation of adnexal lesions. The goals of the lexicon and risk score are to improve report quality and communication between radiologists and clinicians, reduce variability in the reporting language, and optimize management of adnexal lesions. The O-RADS MRI risk score is based on the presence or absence of specific imaging features, including the lipid content, enhancing solid tissue, number of loculi, and fluid type. The probability of malignancy ranges from less than 0.5% when there are benign features to approximately 90% when there is solid tissue with a high-risk time-intensity curve. This information can aid in optimizing management of patients with adnexal lesions. The authors present an algorithmic approach to the O-RADS MRI risk stratification system and highlight key teaching points and common pitfalls. © RSNA, 2023 Quiz questions for this article are available in the supplemental material.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to develop the Ovarian-Adnexa Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) and O-RADS + contrast-enhanced ultrasound (O-RADS CEUS) scoring system to distinguish adnexal masses (AMs) and to compare the diagnostic efficacy of these systems with that of a magnetic resonance imaging scoring system (ADNEX MR). METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 278 ovarian masses from 240 patients between May 2017 and July 2022. Pathology and adequate follow-up were used as reference standards for comparing the validity of O-RADS, O-RADS CEUS and ADNEX MR scoring to diagnose AMs. Area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity were calculated. The inter-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to evaluate inter-reader agreement (IRA) between the two sonographers and two radiologists who analyzed the findings with the three modalities. RESULTS The AUCs of O-RADS, O-RADS CEUS and ADNEX MR scores were 0.928 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.895-0.956), 0.951(95% CI: 0.919-0.973) and 0.964 (95% CI: 0.935-0.983), respectively. Their sensitivities were 95.7%, 94.3 and 91.4%, and their specificities were 81.3%, 92.3% and 97.1%, respectively. The three modalities had accuracies of 84.9%, 92.8% and 95.7%, respectively. O-RADS had the highest sensitivity but significantly lower specificity (p < 0.001), whereas the ADNEX MR scoring had the highest specificity (p < 0.001) but lower sensitivity (p < 0.001). O-RADS CEUS had intermediate sensitivity and specificity (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The addition of CEUS significantly improves the efficacy of O-RADS in diagnosing AMs. The diagnostic efficacy of the combination is comparable to that of the ADNEX MR scoring system.

Abstract
PURPOSE Introduce DWI and quantitative ADC evaluation in O-RADS MRI system and observe how diagnostic performance changes. Assess its validity and reproducibility between readers with different experience in female pelvic imaging. Finally, evaluate any correlation between ADC value and histotype in malignant lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 173 patients with 213 indeterminate adnexal masses (AMs) on ultrasound were subjected to MRI examination, from which 140 patients with 172 AMs were included in the final analysis. Standardised MRI sequences were used, including DWI and DCE sequences. Two readers, blinded to histopathological data, retrospectively classified AMs according to the O-RADS MRI scoring system. A quantitative analysis method was applied by placing a ROI on the ADC maps obtained from single-exponential DWI sequences. AMs considered benign (O-RADS MRI score 2) were excluded from the ADC analysis. RESULTS Excellent inter-reader agreement was found in the classification of lesions according to the O-RADS MRI score (K = 0.936; 95% CI). Two ROC curves were created to determine the optimal cut-off value for the ADC variable between O-RADS MRI categories 3-4 and 4-5, respectively, 1.411 × 10-3 mm2/sec and 0.849 × 10-3 mm2/sec. Based on these ADC values, 3/45 and 22/62 AMs were upgraded, respectively, to score 4 and 5, while 4/62 AMs were downgraded to score 3. ADC values correlated significantly with the ovarian carcinoma histotype (p value < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates the prognostic potential of DWI and ADC values in the O-RADS MRI classification for better radiological standardisation and characterisation of AMs.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Evaluate the impact of adding mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADCmean) measurements to the Ovarian-Adnexal Imaging Reporting and Data System MRI (O-RADS MRI) scoring for adnexal lesion characterization using a combined O-RADS MRI/ADCmean reading approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study included 90 women who underwent pelvic MRI for adnexal lesions diagnosis and characterization. Two readers scored the adnexal lesions using the O-RADS MRI scoring independently and in consensus. A third reader calculated ADCmean measurements. The final diagnoses were determined by histo-pathology (n = 77) or follow-up imaging (n = 13). Areas under the curves (AUCs) and diagnostic performance metrics were calculated for the O-RADS MRI scoring, ADCmean, and combined O-RADS MRI/ADCmean thresholds. P-value <0.05 was significant. RESULTS 116 adnexal lesions (71 benign, 45 malignant) were analyzed. The optimal thresholds to predict malignant adnexal lesions were O-RADS MRI score >3 and ADCmean value ≤1.08 × 10-3 mm2/s (AUC 0.926 and 0.823; sensitivity 97.7% and 95.5%; specificity 87.3% and 68%; positive predictive value (PPV) 83% and 66.2%; positive likelihood ratio (PLR) 7.7 and 3.08, respectively). Compared to the O-RADS MRI scoring, a combined threshold of O-RADS MRI >3/ADCmean ≤1.08 × 10-3 mm2/s, yielded a reduction of false positives, a significant increase in the specificity (97.1%, p = 0.005), PPV (95.4%, p = 0.002), and PLR (33.1, p <0.0001), and non-significant change in the AUC (0.953, p = 0.252), and sensitivity (93.3%, p = 0.467). CONCLUSION The diagnostic performance of O-RADS MRI scoring to characterize adnexal lesions could be improved by adding the ADCmean values through reducing false positives, increasing specificity, and maintaining good sensitivity.

Abstract
The Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) ultrasound (US) and MRI risk stratification systems were developed by an international group of experts in adnexal imaging to aid radiologists in assessing adnexal lesions. The goal of imaging is to appropriately triage patients with adnexal lesions. US is the first-line imaging modality for assessment, whereas MRI can be used as a problem-solving tool. Both US and MRI can accurately characterize benign lesions such as simple cysts, endometriomas, hemorrhagic cysts, and dermoid cysts, avoiding unnecessary or inappropriate surgery. In patients with a lesion that does not meet criteria for one of these benign diagnoses, MRI can further characterize the lesion with an improved specificity for cancer and the ability to provide a probable histologic subtype in the presence of certain MRI features. This allows personalized treatment, including avoiding overly extensive surgery or allowing fertility-sparing procedures for suspected benign, borderline, or low-grade tumors. When MRI findings indicate a risk of an invasive cancer, patients can be expeditiously referred to a gynecologic oncologic surgeon. This narrative review provides expert opinion on the utility of multiparametric MRI when using the O-RADS US and MRI management systems.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore ways to improve O-RADS MRI scoring for fat-containing adnexal masses, by investigating methods for quantifying solid tissue volume and fat distribution and evaluating their associations with malignancy. METHODS This retrospective, single-center study included patients with fat-containing adnexal masses on MRI during 2008-2021. Two radiologists independently reviewed overall size (Sizeoverall), size of any solid tissue (Sizeanysolid), size of solid tissue that was not Rokitansky nodule (Sizenon-Rokitansky), and fat distribution. Wilcoxon test, Fisher-exact test, and ROC curve analysis were performed. Reference standard was pathology or follow-up > 24 months. RESULTS 188 women (median age 35 years) with 163 benign and 25 malignant lesions were included. Sizeoverall (R1, 9.9 cm vs 5.9 cm; R2, 12.4 cm vs 6.0 cm), Sizeanysolid (R1, 5.1 cm vs 1.2 cm; R2, 3.2 cm vs 0.0 cm), Sizenon-Rokitansky (R1, 5.1 cm vs 0.0 cm; R2, 3.1 cm vs 0.0 cm), and fat distribution differed significantly between malignant and benign lesions (p < 0.01). Area under ROC curve was greatest using Sizenon-Rokitansky (R1, 0.83; R2, 0.86) vs Sizeoverall (R1, 0.78; R2, 0.81) or Sizeanysolid (R1, 0.79; R2, 0.81), though differences were non-significant (p = 0.48-0.93). Cutoffs for Sizenon-Rokitansky (R1, ≥ 1.2 cm; R2, ≥ 1.0 cm) yielded sensitivity and specificity of 0.72 and 0.93 (R1) and 0.76 and 0.95 (R2). Among immature teratomas, 85.7% displayed scattered fat. CONCLUSION Overall size, size of (any or non-Rokitansky-nodule) solid tissue, and fat distribution differed between benign and malignant fat-containing adnexal masses. Incorporating these would constitute simple and practical approaches to refining O-RADS MRI scoring.

Abstract
Background US-indeterminate adnexal lesions remain an important indication for gynecologic surgery. MRI can serve as a problem-solving tool through the use of the Ovarian-Adnexal Imaging Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) MRI lexicon, which is based on the ADNEX MR scoring system. Purpose To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the diagnostic performance of pelvic MRI interpreted using the ADNEX or O-RADS MRI stratification systems to characterize US-indeterminate adnexal lesions and of the category-wise malignancy rates. Materials and Methods A systematic literature search from May 2013 (publication of the ADNEX MR score) to September 2022 was performed. Studies reporting the use of pelvic MRI interpreted with the ADNEX or O-RADS MRI systems to characterize US-indeterminate adnexal lesions, with pathologic examination and/or follow-up as the reference standard, were included. Summary estimates of diagnostic performance were obtained with the bivariate random-effects model, while category-wise summary malignancy rates of O-RADS MRI 2, 3, 4, and 5 lesions were obtained with a random-effects model. Effects of covariates on heterogeneity and diagnostic performance were investigated through meta-regression. Results Thirteen study parts from 12 studies (3731 women, 4520 adnexal lesions) met the inclusion criteria. Diagnostic performance meta-analysis for 4012 lesions found a 92% summary sensitivity (95% CI: 88, 95) and a 91% summary specificity (95% CI: 89, 93). The meta-analysis of malignancy rates for 3641 lesions showed summary malignancy rates of 0.1% (95% CI: 0, 1) among O-RADS MRI 2 lesions, 6% (95% CI: 3, 9) among O-RADS MRI 3 lesions, 60% (95% CI: 52, 67) among O-RADS MRI 4 lesions, and 96% (95% CI: 92, 99) among O-RADS MRI 5 lesions. Conclusion Pelvic MRI interpreted with the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) MRI lexicon had high diagnostic performance for the characterization of US-indeterminate adnexal lesions. Summary estimates of malignancy rates in the O-RADS MRI 4 and O-RADS MRI 5 categories were higher than predicted ones. © RSNA, 2022 Supplemental material is available for this article.
