The R2 * value of
malignant tumors was significantly higher than benign and borderline tumors. R2*
could be used to effectively determine aggressiveness level of ovarian tumor.

T2WI(1a) and R2*(1b) images.

serous papillary cystadenoma: T2WI(2a) and

with left ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma: T2WI(3a) and R2*(3b) images.
