In multicentre studies, measurements will vary between centres for various reasons (e.g. subjectivity of measurements, differences in equipment, deviations from the protocol and differences in patient populations). The aim of this interim a…

To compare two-dimensional ultrasonography (2DUS), three dimensional ultrasonography (3DUS) and magnetic resonance (MR) in the detection of deep endometriosis. The study included 147 patients scheduled for surgery from January 2009 to Decem…

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography in comparison with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This diagnostic test study included 117 patients scheduled for surgery becau…

The aim of this study is to provide the description of ultrasound (US) findings of a rare entity that occurs during pregnancy in patients with ovarian endometrioma, whose echo pattern changes by hormonal influences and mimics a malignant ov…

To evaluate diagnostic accuracy of presence of kissing ovaries at transvaginal ultrasonography as a markers of posterior severe deep endometriosis as described by Ghezzi et al in 2005. In this prospective study, performed between January 20…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the interobserver agreement for diagnosis of deep endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum using introital 3-dimensional (3D) sonography. METHODS: Two experienced observers (observers A and …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate interobserver agreement in the diagnosis of deep endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum using introital three-dimensional ultrasonography (3D-US). Two experienced observers (Observers A and B) per…

To define the sonographic morphological description and localization of deep endometriosis in a preliminary consensus statement. After a preliminary request of participation, we received several suggestions from participants about definitio…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of introital three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal sonography for preoperative detection of rectovaginal septal endometriosis.DesignUltrasonographic results were compared with surgical and histolog…

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease predominantly found in women in reproductive age and typically causes pelvic pain and infertility. Ovaries are one of the common sites that endometriosis affects but different types of endome…

To evaluate by ultrasonography the presence of uterine adenomyosis using the pathologic result as the reference of standard. Since January 2006 to December 2007, 572 patients were surgically treated for benign uterine pathologies, including…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the reproducibility and the accuracy of B-mode ultrasonographic features of three different kinds of benign ovarian cysts: ovarian endometrioma, mature teratoma, and serous cyst. METHODS: Digitally stored B-mode sono…

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…

To evaluate the intraobserver and interobserver agreement for identifying different kinds of benign cysts using typical B-mode ultrasonographic patterns, and to perform an external validation of the proposed ultrasonographic patterns. Digit…

En raras ocasiones se diagnostica un adenocarcinoma originado en un pólipo endometrial. De un total de 1.989 pólipos endometriales diagnosticados en 8 años y medio, 6 presentaban un adenocarcinoma endometrioide. Se analizan sus característi…

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…
