Research progress of the ultrasound scoring system of ovarian-adnexal mass
Ultrasound is the most commonly used imaging modality for the diagnosis of ovarian-adnexal masses.However,due to the long-standing lack of uniform standards for describing ultrasound images,the variability of mass images,and the reliance on operator experience,these factors lead to difficulties in preoperative identification,subclassification,and malignancy risk assessment of the masses.Therefore,researchers have successively developed a variety of ultrasound scoring systems to standardize the description of ultrasound examinations and the writing of mass reports,propose risk prediction models and malignant risk classifications,and provide clinical management suggestions,in order to enhance the standardization and homogenization of ultrasound diagnosis,improve the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis of masses,and offer useful guidance to clinicians in correctly interpreting ultrasound reports and further diagnosis and treatment.This article provides a review of ultrasound research advances in the risk of malignancy index,several models developed by the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis,the gynecologic imaging reporting and data system,and the ovarian-adnexal reporting and data system.
