OBJECTIVE: To perform a systematic review of studies comparing the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) including only studies in which patients u…
The IDEA (International Deep Endometriosis Analysis group) statement is a consensus opinion on terms, definitions and measurements that may be used to describe the sonographic features of the different phenotypes of endometriosis. Currently…
To retrospectively evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of power Doppler three-dimensional (3D-PD) ultrasound in discrimination between endometriomas and hemorrhagic cyst. A total of 111 patients with adnexal cystic mass were recruited. Three-d…
To compare the features using the histogram data between hemorrhagic and endometriosis cysts. 28 patients have been retrospectively evaluated, 14 of them with ovarian endometriotic cyst (EC) histologically proved and 14 with hemorrhagic cys…
We studied the role of color Doppler ultrasonography in the distinction between endometriomas and other adnexal masses. Three hundred and fifty-two ovarian lesions were studied, comparing sonographic diagnosis with pathologic findings. On c…
Electrosurgical ablation of the endometrium is a therapeutic choice for those patients having abnormal uterine bleeding. When ablation is followed by a hysterectomy, tissue damage due to thermal effect can be seen. From a total of 350 women…
