OBJECTIVES: To describe the ultrasound characteristics of endometriomas in pre- and postmenopausal patients and to develop rules that characterize endometriomas. METHODS: All patients included in the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IO…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the ability of acoustic streaming to discriminate between endometriomas and other adnexal masses. METHODS: We used data from 1938 patients with an adnexal mass included in Phase 2 of the International Ovarian Tumor A…

To define which US characteristics are suggestive for endometriosis and with which ultrasound features “atypical” endometriomas (Eomas) present. The IOTA study included 3513 patients with an adnexal mass. Histologically proven Eomas were in…
