Differentiation of affected and nonaffected ovaries in ovarian torsion with magnetic resonance imaging texture analysis

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of texture analysis on T2-weighted axial images in differentiating affected and nonaffected ovaries in ovarian torsion. METHODS: We included 22 torsioned ovaries and 19 healthy ovaries. All patients were surgically proven ovarian torsion cases. On T2-weighted axial images, ovarian borders were delineated by the consensus of two radiologists for magnetic resonance imaging-based texture analysis. Statistical differences between texture features of affected and nonaffected ovaries were assessed. RESULTS: A total of 44 texture feat...
