Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role in evaluating gynecologic diseases, offering superior soft-tissue characterization, multiplanar imaging, and functional assessment compared to ultrasound and computed tomography. …

Endometriosis is a complex, multicompartmental disease in which accurately conveying the extent of involvement to the surgical team is essential for preoperative planning and patient counseling. In this context, medical illustrations have g…

OBJECTIVE: To propose an update of ESUR endometriosis guidelines to reflect advances in MRI indications, reporting, and classifications. METHODS: The ESUR Research Committee appointed two chairs (I.T.N., L.M.) to supervise the development …

OBJECTIVE: To propose an update of ESUR endometriosis guidelines to reflect advances in MRI protocol and lexicon. METHODS: A literature search was followed by a DELPHI process among 20 experts. RESULTS: Pre-imaging preparation, including …

Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder in women of reproductive age. It is the leading cause of chronic pelvic pain. While the mechanisms underlying this pain remain elusive, rare cases of pelvic nerve involvement can result in…

Abstract Background The Deep Pelvic Endometriosis Index (dPEI) is a preoperative MRI-based score initially validated to predict surgical outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic treatment for deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE). Its applic…

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 …

Endometriosis is a chronic and disabling gynecological disease that affects women of reproductive age. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the cornerstone radiological technique for both the diagnosis and management of endometrio…

Endometriosis is a common crippling disease in women of reproductive age. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the cornerstone radiological technique for both the diagnosis and management of endometriosis. While its sensitivity, e…

In light of the rising number of patients referred for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to suspected endometriosis and the high expectations of these patients, there is a need for new imaging guidelines to optimally protocol and indicat…

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…

IMPORTANCE: Preoperative mapping of deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE) is crucial as surgery can be complex and the quality of preoperative information is key. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the Deep Pelvic Endometriosis Index (dPEI) magnetic resonan…

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…

The uterine junctional zone is the subendometrial area in the myometrium that contributes to peristalsis and aids in spermatozoa and blastocyst transport. Alterations in the appearance of the junctional zone on transvaginal sonography (TVS)…

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…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this consensus article was to develop guidelines by a focused panel of experts to elaborate a lexicon of image interpretation, and a standardized region-based reporting of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with m…

IMAGING OF OVARIAN CANCERS Imaging of ovarian lesions is based on the triptych: pelvic ultrasound with Doppler, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT). Endovaginal pelvic ultrasound is the first-line examination; tool…
