Abstract

The Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) MRI risk stratification system provides a standardized lexicon and evidence-based risk score for evaluation of adnexal lesions. The goals of the lexicon and risk score are to improve report quality and communication between radiologists and clinicians, reduce variability in the reporting language, and optimize management of adnexal lesions. The O-RADS MRI risk score is based on the presence or absence of specific imaging features, including the lipid content, enhancing solid tissue, number of loculi, and fluid type. The probability of malignancy ranges from less than 0.5% when there are benign features to approximately 90% when there is solid tissue with a high-risk time-intensity curve. This information can aid in optimizing management of patients with adnexal lesions. The authors present an algorithmic approach to the O-RADS MRI risk stratification system and highlight key teaching points and common pitfalls. © RSNA, 2023 Quiz questions for this article are available in the supplemental material.
