Dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging of ovarian neoplasms: current status and future perspectives

Magn Reson Imaging Clin N Am. 2008 Nov;16(4):661-72, ix. doi: 10.1016/j.mric.2008.07.012.

Abstract

MR imaging is useful for characterizing ovarian tumors. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging is a promising new technique useful for characterizing perfusion and angiogenesis of ovarian masses. This article describes the dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging technique examines the current and future applications of this technique in patients with ovarian tumors.
