Pelvic varices in women consist of tortuous and dilated parauterine and ovarian veins and have a characteristic appearance at CT and MRI. Imaging is critical in the evaluation of pelvic varices, both to prevent confusion with other conditio…

With the advances in imaging technology and particularly magnetic resonance imaging and spiral computed tomography, questions have been raised whether these expensive modalities are affordable and cost effective. Although individual procedu…

CT and MR imaging can both contribute valuable clinical information in women with benign and malignant ovarian masses; the superior soft tissue contrast and multiplanar capabilities provided by MR imaging make it a valuable tool to evaluate…

Forty-six patients with surgically proved disease (115 leiomyomas, 19 cases of adenomyosis, and 14 endometrial polyps) were studied to determine if gadopentetate dimeglumine-enhanced T1-weighted MR images improve the detection and character…

The value of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at 0.35 T in detecting, characterizing, and staging pelvic endometriosis was prospectively investigated in 30 consecutive women in whom this disease was clinically suspected. MR findings were cor…

To assess the capability of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to enable differentiation of adenomyosis from leiomyoma, a prospective study was performed in 21 premenopausal patients with a strong clinical suggestion of adenomyosis. Histologic…
