Objectives: Heavy menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea and subfertility are associated with adenomyosis, a benign uterine condition characterised by ectopic endometrium within the myometrium. Currently, diagnosing adenomyosis is challenging. Im…

Adenomyosis, a benign yet serious uterine condition, is highly prevalent but difficult to diagnose and assess using conventional B-mode ultrasound imaging. As the formation of adenomyosis involves angiogenesis and influences local microvasc…
