Abstract

Background: At present there is no large, multi-center and standardized database of ovarian ultrasound images for teaching and research in China. Methods: A standardized ovarian ultrasound image database is being created in a collaborative initiative of about 20 centers proficient in gynecological ultrasound imaging. The database will include both adults and children in China. Results: Each center will provide cases that meet the submission requirements, including standard normal cases (SNC), standard abnormal cases (SAC) and historical classic cases (HCC). This database will cover the majority of the spectrum of ovarian lesions in China. Conclusions: This comprehensive database of ovarian lesions will be a valuable resource for diagnosis and education.
