Using MRI scans to evaluate ovarian masses in pregnant women

This is a research study for pregnant women who have been found to have a mass (abnormal growth) on their ovaries during routine ultrasound. The study is evaluating whether a type of imaging scan called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can better help doctors understand whether these masses are benign (harmless) or potentially cancerous. MRI uses strong magnets and radio waves instead of radiation, making it safer during pregnancy.

When a mass is found on the ovaries during pregnancy, doctors need accurate tools to determine whether it requires treatment or can simply be monitored. While ultrasound is often the first test used, this study aims to show whether adding an MRI scan can give doctors much more confidence in their assessment—potentially avoiding unnecessary treatments or interventions during pregnancy.
