ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a special type of MRI scan to help doctors better understand ovarian masses that cannot be clearly identified with a standard ultrasound. If you are a woman with an ovarian mass that the ultrasound has not been able to classify, you might be eligible to participate in this study. The goal is to see if this advanced MRI technique, which includes special imaging methods called diffusion- and perfusion-weighted imaging, can provide clearer information about these uncertain masses.

If you join the trial, you will undergo a pelvic MRI scan that could help doctors make more informed decisions about your condition. It's important to know that this study is only for women with undetermined ovarian masses, so if your ultrasound has already provided a clear diagnosis, you would not qualify. Additionally, if you have any reasons that prevent you from having an MRI or if you decide not to participate, you can choose to withdraw at any time. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and your involvement could contribute to better understanding and treatment options for ovarian masses in the future.
