Malignant ovarian masses can be differentiated from benign ovarian masses with the use of multiple, quantitative MR-based metrics at 3 Tesla, including T2, ADC, IAUC, and MRS. These preliminary results indicate that IAUC values from dynamic contrast-enhanced images and the detection of total choline-containing compounds by MRS can differentiate between malignant and benign masses. A larger population is needed to show if there is a difference for T2 values.
