Abstract Ovarian tumors are considered the most common cause of death among all other tumors of the female genital system.Ultrasonography is currently the standard imaging tool for the differential diagnosis of adnexal masses, and although very sensitive in detecting these and sometimes able to indicate malignancy, it is frequently unable to provide images adequate for specific diagnosis .Over the last two decades, advances in cross-sectional imaging, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging. (MRI), and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) have yielded new insights into the evaluation of morphologic and functional tumor prognostic factors .Currently used imaging techniques play an important role in the detection,characterization, staging, treatment planning and follow-up of ovarian masses.However, there are some cases in which the differentiation between benign and malignant ovarian tumors is difficult. |
