| Popis: | Objective: Ovarian cancer is the sixth most common cancer in Thailand. Given the absence of a computed tomography (CT) score for differentiating between benign and malignant ovarian tumors, this study aimed to develop a CT scoring system for differentiating between benign and malignant ovarian tumors using pathologic findings as the reference standard. Material and Methods: This retrospective study included all female patients having undergone abdominal/pelvic CT scans for evaluation of ovarian masses at our institute, from January 2011 to December 2021. Two radiologists independently reviewed CT features and obtained a CT score for each tumor. Comparison of the differentiation performance of the CT score, with reference to the pathologic findings, was performed using Fisher’s exact or chi-squared test. The diagnostic performance of the CT score was evaluated. Results: A total of 144 patients with 191 ovarian masses were enrolled. Tumor component characteristics, septate thickness, ascites, and metastasis significantly differed between benign and malignant tumors (p-value |
