Evaluation of pelvic masses with magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography

Magnetic resonance imaging is becoming increasingly useful in
characterizing adnexal masses, whereas endovaginal ultrasound is an
invaluable technique for examining the uterus and adnexa. This pictorial
essay depicts the internal architectural details necessary for
characterization of various adnexal masses imaged with both EVU and MR
imaging. Forty consecutive examinations that revealed 51 adnexal masses
were reviewed. All patients had MR imaging and EVU examinations within 1
week of each other. T1- and T2-weighted images in coronal, axial, and
sagittal planes were included. Fat suppression technique also was used in
selected cases. EVU, because of its high spatial resolution, was able to
depict better internal architectural details, allowing specific diagnosis
of most adnexal masses, whereas MR imaging was superior in differentiating
hemorrhagic masses from dermoids when specific fat suppression techniques
were used.
