Ovarian masses - CT imaging
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Scientific Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Cancer of the ovary is the second most common gynaecological malignancy and is the 5th leading cause death in women. Ultrasonography including color Doppler is the choice of imaging in the initial evaluation of suspected adnexal mass. According to WHO classification 14 categories exist. However, only major masses and their imaging features are included here. Transvaginal sonography is better than trans abdominal. However, Computed Axial Tomography (CT) is better for diagnosis and staging of tumor. Local extent and deposits on the peritoneum, liver, mesentery and bowel are well demonstrated by CT. Prediction of resectability is determined by CT. In this article, the imaging features of some of the ovarian masses by CT are described pictorially.
