Score 1 No mass No adnexal mass is demonstrated in pelvic MRI study
Score 2 Benign/likely benign Radiologically characterized, has to have a radiological diagnosis (e.g. endometrioma, dermoid, fibroma)

Score 5 Highly suspicious for malignancy

Solid tissue criteria reached and presence of:

• Peritoneal implants and/or

• Lymphadenopathy and/or

• Ascites in the presence of solid tissue, after benign diagnoses are excluded

MRI magnetic resonance imaging

*Solid tissue is defined as tissue with intermediate signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging, low signal intensity on T1-weighted imaging and corresponding true diffusion restriction
