Detection of Ovarian Cancer Using an Artificial Intelligence Enabled Transvaginal Ultrasound Imaging Algorithm

Ovarian cancer is relatively rare but fatal with an annual incidence rate of 11.8 per 100 000 and a high mortality-to-incidence ratio of >0.6. The modest diagnostic accuracy of TVU has risen some concerns about the over-treatment.Now, with the development of artificial intelligence (AI), we may have a better chance to interpret TVU imagines with high efficiency, reproducibility and accuracy.

Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:

• Women without adnexa for any reasons at the time of Transvaginal Ultrasound examination, including but not limited to receiving surgical removal for adnexa;
• Women with a pathologic diagnosis of ovarian cancer before the Transvaginal Ultrasound examination;
• Women with mental abnormal;
• Women did not cooperate or participate in other clinical trials;
• Pregnant or lactating women.
