Role of Mri in Gynecological Emergencies

Abstract

AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the emerging role of magnetic resonance imaging in the gynaecological emergencies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Methods: Twenty nine non pregnant female patients with acute pelvic pain or bleeding per vagina who underwent MRI pelvis at our imaging department between November 2019 and August 2020 were reviewed. The final diagnosis was established by surgical findings in 16 cases, & biopsy in 1 respectively. The remaining 11 cases underwent follow-up MRI. Results: MRI was diagnostic in 28 (95.5%) out of 29 patients and non-diagnostic in 1 case. The commonest gynaecological emergency was ovarian cyst with complications. Imaging findings in 16 (55.2%) patients were correlated with surgery . The overall sensitivity and PPV of MRI in acute gynaecological conditions was 95.6% and 98.2%.
