Diagnostic performance of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging for malignant ovarian tumors: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Background Accurate preoperative diagnosis of malignant ovarian tumors (MOTs) is particularly important for selecting the optimal treatment strategy and avoiding overtreatment. Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) for MOTs. Material and Methods A systematic search was performed in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases to find relevant original articles up to October 2019. The included studies were assessed usi… Show more

“…Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) plays a significant role in the diagnosis of pelvic diseases due to its high soft-tissue resolution ( 13 , 14 ). It can clearly reveal the lesion characteristics (cystic, bleeding, edema, fibrosis, and so on), the relationship between the tumor and surrounding tissues, and the status of lymph node disease (metastasis or inflammation).…”

“…The characteristics of neovascularization are that the tube wall is relatively thin, without smooth muscle, and it is only composed of endothelial cells, so its elasticity is poor, and its distribution is also relatively disorder, and the tube lumen is relatively thickened. Therefore, if a large number of new blood vessels are found in the lesion, it often indicates that the lesion is malignant ( 22 , 23 ).…”
