Abstract

Background: MRI provides adequate ovarian imaging to permit accurate measurement. More normative data for children and adolescents is needed as MRI is being used for evaluation of right lower quadrant pain that could be due to ovarian torsion.

Objective: To determine normative data for ovarian size by MRI using a rapid protocol for right lower quadrant pain.

Materials and methods: Retrospective evaluation of MRI examinations of girls obtained between 2013 and 2019 was performed including chart and image review. Normative data was determined by age.

Results: Mean patient age was 12.8 years (range 1-18 years). Six hundred forty-four scans were included in the study. Thirty-three ovaries contained cysts measuring greater than 3 cm and 8 additional ovaries were torsed. These ovaries were not included in the normal ovary measurements. Patients with known or suspected polycystic ovarian syndrome or torsion also were excluded. Ovarian volumes of normal-appearing ovaries are reported by patient age.

Conclusion: Normative data for girls and adolescents utilizing a rapid MRI protocol for right lower quadrant pain is provided for increased confidence in assessing ovarian size in girls on MRI.

期刊介绍： Official Journal of the European Society of Pediatric Radiology, the Society for Pediatric Radiology and the Asian and Oceanic Society for Pediatric Radiology Pediatric Radiology informs its readers of new findings and progress in all areas of pediatric imaging and in related fields. This is achieved by a blend of original papers, complemented by reviews that set out the present state of knowledge in a particular area of the specialty or summarize specific topics in which discussion has led to clear conclusions. Advances in technology, methodology, apparatus and auxiliary equipment are presented, and modifications of standard techniques are described. Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
