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 …

BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of endometriosis is a challenge. The recent development of a saliva-based micro-ribonucleic acid (miRNA) signature for the diagnosis of endometriosis may enable a timelier and less invasive approach, but this requires …

Endometriosis is a complex gynecologic disorder characterized primarily by symptoms of pelvic pain, infertility, and altered quality of life. National and international guidelines highlight the diagnostic difficulties and lack of conclusive…

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 …

STUDY QUESTION: Is increasing the intensity of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) by 30% in the treatment of rectal endometriosis a safe procedure? SUMMARY ANSWER: This study demonstrates the safety of a 30% increase in the intensity…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to establish the first-ever MRI classification of uterosacral ligament (USL) involvement in deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), based on reliable preoperative MRI features correlated with positive predictive v…

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: To compare computed tomography-enterography (CTE) and magnetic resonance-enterography (MRE) in the detection of right-sided bowel deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty women with DIE who underwent p…

OBJECTIVE: To provide French guidelines for the management of women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). DESIGN: A consensus committee of 26 experts was formed. A formal conflict-of-interest policy was developed at the beginning of the pr…

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…

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…

ObjectiveTo provide French guidelines for the management of women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB).DesignA consensus committee of 26 experts was formed. A formal conflict-of-interest (COI) policy was developed at the beginning of the pr…

Polypoid endometriosis is a rare form of endometriosis that corresponds to a benign variant but which systematically mimics malignant tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred imaging modality for these lesions. We present h…

ObjectivesDiagnosis and treatment of endometriosis may be complex and therefore justify the discussion of therapeutic decisions in a multidisciplinary endometriosis board (MEB). The development of endometriosis regional expert centers requi…

OBJECTIVES: The Collège national des gynécologues obstétriciens français (CNGOF), in agreement with the Société de chirurgie gynécologique et pelvienne (SCGP), has set up a commission in 2017 to define endometriosis expert centres, with the…

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). …

Magnetic resonance imaging is the optimal modality for pelvic imaging. It is based on T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) sequences allowing uterine and vaginal cavity assessment as well as rectal evaluation. Anatomical depiction of these s…

Endometriosis is a common condition that causes pain and infertility. It can lead to absenteeism and also to multiple surgeries with a consequent risk of impaired fertility, and constitutes a major public health cost. Despite the existence …

PurposeTo evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diaphragmatic endometriosis diagnosis.Materials and methodsOver a 2-year period, all diaphragmatic MRI performed in the context of diaphragmatic endometriosis were reviewed. Axial and …

PURPOSE: To prospectively determine the accuracy of 3.0-T magnetic resonance (MR) enterography in the preoperative assessment of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions located in the bowel above the rectosigmoid junction. MATERIALS A…
