| Popis: | Ultrasound is the most commonly used imaging technique for the evaluation of ovarian and other adnexal lesions. The interpretation of sonographic findings is variable because of inconsistency in descriptor terminology used among reporting clinicians. The use of vague terms that are inconsistently applied can lead to significant differences in interpretation and subsequent management strategies. A committee was formed under the direction of the ACR initially to create a standardized lexicon for ovarian lesions with the goal of improving the quality and communication of imaging reports between ultrasound examiners and referring clinicians. The ultimate objective will be to apply the lexicon to a risk stratification classification for consistent follow-up and management in clinical practice. This white paper describes the consensus process in the creation of a standardized lexicon for ovarian and adnexal lesions and the resultant lexicon. |
