RADIOLOGICAL STAGING OF METASTATIC OVARIAN TUMORS AND COMPARATIVE DIAGNOSIS ACCURACY OF CT AND MRI

Abstract

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 30 patients diagnosed with metastatic ovarian tumors. Few patients underwent through CT while other went through MRI scans as part of their diagnostic workup. For lesions indeterminate on ultrasound, MRI increases the specificity of imaging evaluation, thus decreasing benign resections. CT is useful in diagnosis and treatment planning of advanced cancer. Both CT and MRI are valuable tools in the radiological staging of metastatic ovarian tumors, with MRI showing slightly higher sensitivity and specificity. However, the choice of imaging modality should consider the clinical context, availability, and potential radiation risks.
