title: Massive edema of the ovary: high resolution MR findings using a phased-array pelvic coil.
abstract: We report a rare premenarchal case of massive ovarian edema in which high resolution MRI findings more accurately reflected characteristic pathologic changes of this condition compared with CT and ultrasound. A potential role of MR in preoperative diagnosis of massive ovarian edema is suggested.
