| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main study parameter will be the diagnostic performance of MR-PET in preoperative staging and evaluation of operability of women with advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer. Different anatomical sites will be evaluated systematically. Numbers of true positive (TP), false positive (FP), true negative (TN) and false negative (FN) will be recorded for each item from which sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy will be calculated. The index test (MR-PET) will be compared to the current imaging modality of choice in clinical practice (CT). Surgical staging and histopathology will be used as the reference standard. | — |
