1. For patients in whom there is significant clinical concern of ovarian torsion, transvaginal ultrasound remains an examination of choice though. However, CT and MRI are increasingly used as the initial diagnostic modalities, so radiologist should recognize the causes and imaging findings of ovarian torsion. 2. Radiologists play an important role in making an accurate diagnosis of ovarian torsion on CT and MRI. Understanding and recognizing characteristic features of ovarian torsion is crucial for the accurate diagnosis and description of adequate differential diagnosis for acute pelvic pain.  

• Review the various clinical manifestations for ovarian torsion. • Describe and illustrate the common CT and MR Imaging presentations of ovarian torsion based on the etiologies. • Discuss the pathophysiology of ovarian torsion, characteristic imaging features, and the appropriate risk factors.
