Margin irreg | Margin def | T2 homog | T2 hyper ≥50 |
T1 focal hyper | DWI/ ADC |
CE + | CE + rim | LN | Ascites |

ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; DWI, diffusion-weighted imaging; LN = lymphadenopathy.
Margin irreg = irregular/nodular (non - smooth) margin
Margin def = margin definition (ill- or well – defined)
T2 homog = homogeneity or uniformity of signal within the mass on T2 weighted images
T2 hyper ≥50 = increased signal greater than that of normal myometrium in more than 50% of the total volume of the mass
T1 focal hyper = focal (single or multiple) T1 hyperintensity(ies) within the mass
DWI/ADC = diffusion trace - weighted image and ADC map
CE+=contrast enhancement
CE rim = predominantly or exclusively peripheral contrast enhancement
