“…Our results of USG compared to other studies in literature (Table 6) showed a comparable sensitivity of 90% especially when compared to the results of international ovarian tumor association and United Kingdom Collaborative Trial of Ovarian Cancer Screening (UKCTOS) in detection of ovarian malignancy. 13 Our study showed a very low specificity of 54% in detection of ovarian carcinoma when compared to other studies in literature. This may be because of the inter-observer variation in results of ultrasonography and also the failure of USG in assessment of the involvement of retroperitoneal area.…”

“…MRI scan, due to its multiplanar imaging capability is beneficial in poorly visualised, sonographically indeterminate masses and has an almost 100% sensitivity for identifying ovarian malignancy. 12 Several combined methods for evaluating the risk of ovarian malignancy have been proposed. The risk of malignancy index (RMI) proposed by Jacob et al uses the ultrasound features, menopausal status and CA 125.…”

“…CT is preferred for identification of peritoneal implants, lymphadenopathy and extent of the disease. However, studies failed to demonstrate that CT is significantly superior to other modalities in characterization of ovarian cancer 4,5,6 . And moreover, simple ovarian cysts are better evaluated by ultrasound.…”
