Objective:To analyze the characteristics of CT and MRI of struma ovarii. Methods:The imaging characteristics of 8 patients with pathologically proved struma ovarii were analyzed retrospectively. Results:Two cases were located in the left accessory and 6 cases were in the right. Plain CT and contrast CT were performed on 5 cases. All of the cases were cystic and solid;calcification was found in 2 cases. The solid component,cyst wall,interval of all cases were significantly enhanced;the cystic fluid showed no en-hancement. Plain MRI and contrast MRI were performed on 3 cases;all were cystic and solid. The solid components were intermediate intensity on both T2-weighted images and T1-weighted images. The signal intensity of different cysts was various. The areas of promi-nent low intensity on T2-weighted images were recognized in 2 cases,which were intermediate or high intensity on T1-weighted images. The solid component,cyst wall,interval of all cases were significantly enhanced;cystic fluid showed no enhancement. Conclusion:The prominent low intensity on T2-weighted images on MRI and the high density cyst’ on CT are the characteristic ex-pressions of struma ovarii.
