Traditionally, laparoscopy was considered to be the gold standard for the examination of endometriotic lesions, because it allows their direct visualization. Several international and national guidelines have now shifted their focus to non-…

The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) and International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) group, the European Endometriosis League (EEL), the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE), ESHR…

Preoperative sonographic staging in patients with suspected parametrial endometriosis is essential to plan surgical intervention and anticipate the need for a multidisciplinary approach, and thus optimize surgical outcome. The results of a …

Although endometriosis could be associated with certain epithelial ovarian cancers and elevated serum cancer antigen (CA) 19-9 levels, it is difficult to diagnose endometriosis using this marker. We report an unusual case of endometriosis t…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) features of adenomyosis need to be better defined and, if deemed necessary, to reach consensus on the updated definitions. METHODS: A modified Delphi pr…

Objectives: To develop a model that can discriminate between different etiologies of abnormal uterine bleeding. Design: The International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) 1 study is a multicenter observational diagnostic study in 18 bleedi…

Given the challenges of the current coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic and to protect both patients and ultrasound providers (physicians, sonographers, allied professionals), the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecolo…

To assess the inter-observer agreement on the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) features among experts and provide improved definitions of the features to facilitate diagnosing adenomyosis. A modified Delphi procedure among…

Data on the assessment of adnexal masses during pregnancy is limited. Our objective was to evaluate the use of ultrasound as an adjunct to the management of adnexal masses in pregnant women. A prospective study was performed between Septemb…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the value of using one-stop magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) vs standard radiological imaging as a supplement to transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) for the preoperative assessment of patients with endometriosis referre…

In 2015, the international Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) group published a consensus on which terminology to use when describing myometrial lesions seen on ultrasonography1. The use of MUSA terminology to describe ultra…

STUDY QUESTION: Do sonographic characteristics of ovarian endometriomas vary with age in premenopausal women? SUMMARY ANSWER: With increasing age, multilocular cysts and cysts with papillations and other solid components become more common …

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…

In multicentre studies, measurements will vary between centres for various reasons (e.g. subjectivity of measurements, differences in equipment, deviations from the protocol and differences in patient populations). The aim of this interim a…

To assess ultrasonographic features of adnexal endometriomas in relation to patient age in premenopausal patients. Retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 5914 adnexal masses from the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) study. All…

The MUSA (Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment) statement is a consensus statement on terms, definitions and measurements that may be used to describe and report the sonographic features of the myometrium using gray-scale sonography,…

BACKGROUND: To compare different ultrasound-based international ovarian tumour analysis (IOTA) strategies and risk of malignancy index (RMI) for ovarian cancer diagnosis using a meta-analysis approach of centre-specific data from IOTA3. ME…

Characterizing ovarian masses enables patients with malignancy to be appropriately triaged for treatment by subspecialist gynecological oncologists, which has been shown to optimize care and improve survival. Furthermore, correctly classify…

A 35-year-old woman was followed-up in her second pregnancy following the ultrasound-based diagnosis of a presumed right ovarian endometrioma prior to conception. At that time, a transvaginal ultra...

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the diagnostic accuracy and interobserver agreement in predicting intracavitary uterine pathology at offline analysis of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound volumes of the uterus. METHODS: 3D volumes (unenhanced ultras…

OBJECTIVES: To describe the ultrasound characteristics of endometriomas in pre- and postmenopausal patients and to develop rules that characterize endometriomas. METHODS: All patients included in the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IO…

Uterine abnormalities such as myomas, adenomyosis, endometrial polyps and uterine malignancies can have similar B-mode characteristics. The aim of this restrospective study was to evaluate whether elastography in addition to conventional so…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the ability of acoustic streaming to discriminate between endometriomas and other adnexal masses. METHODS: We used data from 1938 patients with an adnexal mass included in Phase 2 of the International Ovarian Tumor A…

AIM: To evaluate the performance of subjective evaluation of ultrasound findings (pattern recognition) to discriminate endometriomas from other types of adnexal masses and to compare the demographic and ultrasound characteristics of the tru…
