Background: The findings of this study suggest that the Ovarian-Adnexal
Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) ultrasound risk stratification system are
scoring algorithm that can be applied to a non-selected population of women
undergoing ultrasonography examinations in radiology departments with similar
diagnostic performance compared with previously studied populations.
Aim of study: The study aimed to evaluate the ovarian lesions as regarding
malignancy rate, the validity and reliability through different pathological
results and other imaging modalities mainly the MRI.
Patients and Methods: This study is a prospective study included seventy
seven patients (fifty pre and twenty seven postmenopausal) referred from out-
patient oncology clinics or in-patients at departments of South Egypt Cancer
Institute (SECI) for assessing a suspicious adnexal mass lesion. Their ages
ranged from 16- 75 years.
Results: The studied lesions were as following as regard (the ORADS) 15
(16.7%), 38 (42.2%), 5 (5.6%), 4 (4.4%) and 28 (31.1%) lesions were classified
as ORADS caterory-1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively. The main findings in the
current study were that O-RADS at cutoff point> 4; it has 96.6% overall
accuracy in diagnosis of nature of ovarian lesions with area under curve (AUC)
was 0.986.
Conclusion: the ultrasound O-RADS classification system provide a crucial
non-invasive diagnostic tool for suspected ovarian tumors to distinguish
between benign and malignant neoplastic lesions,
