Score 4 | Suspicious for malignancy | Solid tissue criteria reached |
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
