O-RADS MRI scoring system: key points for correct application in inexperienced hands

ConclusionThe diagnostic performance of O-RADS MRI determined by either experienced or inexperienced radiologists is excellent, facilitating decision-making with high diagnostic accuracy and high reproducibility. Knowledge of this classification and use of assessment tools could avoid frequent errors due to misinterpretation.Critical relevance statementUp to 31% of ovarian masses are considered indeterminate by transvaginal US and 32% of solid lesions considered malignant by transvaginal US are benign. The O-RADs MRI accurately classifies these masses, even when used by inexperienced radiologists, thereby avoiding incorrect surgical approaches.Key points• O-RADS MRI accurately classifies indeterminate and solid ovarian masses by ultrasound.• There is excellent interobserver agreement between experienced and non-experienced radiologists.• O-RADS MRI is a helpful tool to assess clinical decision-making in ovarian tumours.Graphical Abstract
