Myometrial lesions are a common indication for pelvic imaging, with accurate characterisation crucial for guiding management. While ultrasonography remains the first-line modality, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers superior tissue con…
Ovarian cancer (OC) remains one of the leading causes of gynecologic cancer-related mortality, with most patients presenting with disseminated disease, particularly within the peritoneal cavity. Standard treatment includes cytoreductive sur…
ObjectiveTo provide up-to-date European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) guidelines for staging and follow-up of patients with ovarian cancer (OC).MethodsTwenty-one experts, members of the female pelvis imaging ESUR subcommittee from …
MRI plays an important role as a secondary test or problem-solving modality in the evaluation of adnexal lesions depicted at US. MRI has increased specificity compared with US, decreasing the number of false-positive diagnoses for malignanc…
ObjectiveThe aim of the Female Pelvic Imaging Working Group of the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) was to develop imaging guidelines for MR work-up in patients with known or suspected uterine leiomyomas.MethodsGuidelines for…
An update of the 2010 published ESUR recommendations of MRI of the sonographically indeterminate adnexal mass integrating functional techniques is provided. An algorithmic approach using sagittal T2 and a set of transaxial T1 and T2WI allow…
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…
Benign uterine disease is a common entity affecting women of all ages. Ultrasound has historically been the predominant imaging method used in the evaluation of benign gynaecological disease, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) being reserved …
ObjectiveSemi-quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE MRI) has proven useful in discriminating benign from borderline/malignant adnexal lesions. Our aim was to assess if the use of a lesion-to-internal-reference ratio improved the p…
BackgroundThe role of various gynaecological imaging modalities is vital in aiding clinicians to diagnose acute gynaecological disease, and can help to direct medical and surgical treatment where appropriate. It is important to interpret th…
In this article we review the ever increasing role of imaging in endometrial and cervical cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as the most widely used technique in the management of women with gynaecological cancer. In endom…
Our aims were to assess diagnostic performance of T2-weighted (T2W) and dynamic gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted (T1W) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the preoperative assessment of myometrial and cervical invasion by endometrial carcino…
