Andrea Rockall, introduction by Tanya Chawla

In this lecture, I will go through the role and impact of imaging in women who are suspected of having ovarian cancer. Early diagnosis, including the role of MRI in adnexal mass characterisation will be presented. Staging of disease with CT, as well as problem-solving with MRI, will be described and the impact on decision-making at the time of initial treatment planning.

At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

• Describe the ORADS-MRI scoring system and its application in the risk stratification of adnexal masses.
• Identify critical sites of disease on CT and MRI that impact treatment planning for ovarian cancer.
• Discuss emerging research developments that may improve risk stratification methods in the future, including the application of radiomics.
