Abstract

MR imaging has become an important tool in the evaluation of patients with adnexal disease, and its role continues to evolve. Some benign entities can be diagnosed by MR imaging with a high grade of confidence, such as teratomas, endometriomas, simple and hemorrhagic cysts, fibromas, and hydrosalpinx. In cases of malignant lesions, MR imaging may be more accurate than other modalities for lesion characterization, staging, and follow-up.
