Imaging plays an important role in characterizing and risk-stratifying commonly encountered adnexal lesions. Recently, the American College of Radiology (ACR) released the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) for ultrasound and subsequently for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The goal of the recently developed ACR O-RADS MRI risk stratification system is to improve the quality of imaging reports as well as the reproducibility of evaluating adnexal lesions on MRI. This review focuses on exploring this new system and its future refinements.
