OBJECTIVES: To assess the diagnostic efficacy of an MRI protocol and patient preparation in detecting deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The cohort is from the ENDOVALIRM database, a multicentric national retrospective …

OBJECTIVE: Despite various surgical and nonsurgical strategies for abdominal wall endometriosis, the lack of definitive guidance on optimal treatment choice leads to clinical uncertainty. This review scrutinizes the safety and efficacy of a…

PURPOSE: To retrospectively evaluate the relief of pain after percutaneous image-guided cryoablation of symptomatic extraperitoneal endometriosis (EE). MATERIAL AND METHODS: From 2017 to 2022, cryoablation of EE was performed at a single i…

OBJECTIVES: To assess the ability of physical examination (PE), transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) alone and combined to diagnose deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). DESIGN: We retrospectively quer…

Adenomyosis is a complex and poorly understood gynecological disease. It used to be diagnosed exclusively by histology after hysterectomy; today its diagnosis is carried out increasingly by imaging techniques, including transvaginal ultraso…

Purpose of Review: The purpose of this review is to (i) summarize the current literature regarding the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing adenomyosis, (ii) examine how to integrate MRI phenotypes with clinical symptomato…

OBJECTIVE: Parametrial involvement (PI) in endometriosis is poorly defined resulting in an underestimation of its impact during surgical excision. The aim of our study was to assess the surgical complications associated with parametrectomy …

OBJECTIVES: The primary end point of this study was to evaluate the image quality and reliability of a highly accelerated 3-dimensional T2 turbo spin echo (3D-T2-TSE) sequence with prototype iterative denoising (ID) reconstruction compared …

Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition of unknown etiology, which mainly affects women of reproductive age. The commonest site of gastrointestinal endometriosis is the rectosigmoid colon. Involvement of the sigmoid, cecum, append…

The availability of non-invasive diagnostic tests is an important factor in the renewed interest in adenomyosis, as the disease can now be more accurately mapped in the uterus without a need for hysterectomy. An agreed system for classifyin…

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate three-dimensional (3D) T2 MRI before and after vaginal opacification (VO) by gel (3DT2VO) and the additional value of 3DT1 with fat-suppression (3DT1FS) MRI in the diagnosis of vaginal endomet…

INTRODUCTION: Intestinal endometriosis is considered the most severe form of deep endometriosis, the rectosigmoid being involved in about 90% of cases of bowel infiltration. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)…

In the Results section of the Abstract, there is an error in the second sentence. The correct sentence is: The pooled sensitivity, specificity, LR+, and LR-values of MRI for RE were 88% (95% CI, 85-91%), 90% (95% CI, 88-92%), 17.26 (95% CI,…

ObjectiveThe recurrence rate after colorectal surgery for endometriosis is up to 50% at 5 years. The aim of the current review and meta-analysis was to assess recurrence associated with shaving, disc excision, and segmental resection for en…

Diagnostic performance of MR imaging for the diagnosis of pelvic endometriosis are good. Even if some differences of performances exists according the location considered, the risk of misdiagnosis is lower than 10% for trained teams (NP2). …

The aim of the present review, conducted according to PRISMA statement recommendations, was to evaluate the contribution of transvaginal sonography (TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose adenomyosis. Although there is a lack…

ObjectiveTo compare the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and rectal endoscopic sonography (RES) for the diagnosis of colorectal endometriosis.MethodsIn retrospective study, 407 patients operated on service of gynecology of Tenon…

The aim of the present review was to evaluate the contribution of clinical examination and imaging techniques, mainly transvaginal sonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose deep infiltrating (DE) locations using prisma sta…

The diagnosis of pelvic endometriosis is based on the combination of clinical examination, endovaginal ultrasonography and pelvic MRI. Ultrasonography displays a moderate sensitivity and a high specificity. Pelvien MRI displays a better sen…

Study objectiveTo prospectively determine the accuracy of magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) compared with conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for multifocal (i.e., multiple lesions affecting the same digestive segment) and mul…

ObjectivesTo compare the outcomes of percutaneous image-guided cryoablation of symptomatic abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) versus surgery alone.MethodsFrom 2004 to 2016, cryoablation or surgery alone was performed under local (n = 5) or …

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition of unknown aetiology that primarily affects women of reproductive age. The accepted first-line imaging modality is pelvic ultrasound. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasing…

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…

Study objectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic contribution of the computed tomography (CT) enema and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for multifocal (multiple lesions affecting the same segment) and multicentric (multiple lesions affecting seve…
