Abstract
Accurate identification of ovarian masses is essential for determining optimal therapeutic interventions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an indispensable tool in imaging ovarian masses. This study aims to correlate MRI findings with histopathological diagnoses and determine MRI's reliability and precision in diagnosing ovarian masses. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 200 patients who underwent MRI for suspected ovarian masses and later had surgical removal followed by histopathological examination. Magnetic resonance imaging results, based on morphological features, signal intensity and specific patterns, were compared with the histopathological outcomes. From the 200 cases analyzed, a significant correlation was found between MRI and histopathological diagnoses. Certain MRI features demonstrated a high predictive value for specific types of ovarian masses. Nevertheless, a few discrepancies were observed, which are further detailed in the study. For the diagnosis of ovarian masses, MRI proves to be a dependable imaging modality with a significant correlation to histopathological findings. Recognizing distinct MRI patterns can substantially aid clinical decision‐making processes. Nonetheless, histopathological evaluation remains the definitive diagnostic procedure. The study suggests a potential refinement in MRI protocols for improved diagnostic accuracy in the future.
