Abstract
A method of characterizing an adnexal mass is disclosed, the method is effected by (a) obtaining a cross-sectional or projectional image of an examined adnex including the adnexal mass; (b) extracting boundaries of the adnexal mass; and (c) using a first algorithm for quantifying at least one morphological feature of the adnexal mass, thereby providing quantification of the at least one morphological feature.
