Terms, definitions and measurements to describe the sonographic features of adnexal tumors: a consensus opinion from the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) group (original) (raw)

The paper presents a consensus opinion from the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) group focused on standardizing terms and definitions for the sonographic features of adnexal tumors. It addresses the current variability in diagnostic accuracy due to inconsistent terminology, emphasizing the need for standardized morphologic end-points derived from ultrasound imaging. The established definitions aim to improve the clarity and efficacy of adnexal mass evaluations across different clinical settings.
