MRI results vs. Ultrasound results
Which one is most accurate? This is a follow up from a question I posted a few posts down. I had a TVUS on 1/23/14 which noted several fibroids (already known) but also indicated a possible complex cyst on my right ovary but it was not clearly distinguishable so a MRI w/ and w/o contrast was ordered. Got the MRI on 2/1/14 and it also shows the fibroids but says both ovaries are normal and there is no mass on my ovary. Just says my fibroids are so they couldn't measure the endometrium lining but it still looked normal. Not sure what to think now. For the TVUS my gyn said the fibroid blocked getting a clear view of the ovarian mass, could that happen with the MRI or maybe its just gone now. Still having pelvic pain, bladder issues, and GI issues. I see my gyn next Friday to discuss the results.

Hello,
MRI is highly specific for abdominal conditions. Most MRIs of the abdomen also shoot images of the pelvic area, and if they did, then it would have shown ovarian cysts if they were there at the time of the MRI. However the best test for diagnosis is an ultrasound. So as your gynecologist has advised you can get a repeat ultrasound done.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
