Texture analysis of 3T high resolution T2 weighted images in ovarian cystadenoma versus borderline tumour.

Preoperative MR differentiation of borderline ovarian tumour (BOT) from cystadenoma allowing optimal surgical management is important, however challenging. This study investigates the ability of texture analysis (16 textural descriptors) applied to 3T-based high resolution T2-weighted images to distinguish between both lesion types. f14 (maximal correlation coefficient) showed a significant difference between adenoma and BOT (p=0.02; AUC=0.7).
