IOTA Certification Program

The IOTA Certification Program is offered by International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA). The IOTA group was founded in 1999 by Dirk Timmerman, Lil Valentin and Tom Bourne, with an aim to develop standardized terminology. The IOTA published a consensus statement on terms, definitions and measurements to describe the sonographic features of adnexal masses, which is now widely used. It covers a multitude of studies examining many aspects of gynecological ultrasonography within a network of contributing centers throughout the world that are coordinated from KU Leuven Research & Development, Belgium. The IOTA group is multidisciplinary and involves gynecologists, radiologists, oncologists as well as physicists and biologists.
