Accurate characterization of benign and malignant
ovarian cancers plays a critical role in decision making
about the therapeutic strategy, for which DCE- MRI has
been shown to be promising. Reliable prediction of
malignancy in complex adnexal masses depends on proper
selection of quantitative DCE-MRI descriptive
parameters. In this work, we exploit an automatic
classification method for selection of the best
parameters in predicting the tumor malignancy, and
propose a clinically applicable decision tree for
accurate classification of benign and malignant complex
ovarian cancers.
