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…

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…

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…

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…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in locating endometriosis implants within the bladder wall with assessment of ureteral orifice extension using surgical f…

The perihepatic space is frequently involved in a spectrum of diseases, including intrahepatic lesions extending to the liver capsule and disease conditions involving adjacent organs extending to the perihepatic space or spreading thanks to…

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…

ObjectiveTo retrospectively determine the accuracy of MRI rectal and pararectal signs in predicting the necessity for segmental resection in the case of lesions located in the rectum.MethodsMR images of consecutive patients treated for rect…

ObjectivesTo describe MRI features of accessory cavitated uterine mass (ACUM) with surgical correlations.MethodsEleven young women with an ACUM at pathology underwent preoperative pelvic MRI. Two experienced radiologists retrospectively ana…

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…

We report the case of a 26-year-old woman with a right auto-amputated adnexa and a free-floating mass in the pouch of Douglas using multimodal imaging studies including ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. T…

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 …

Given the unique intra-peritoneal anatomic location of the adnexa, tubo-ovarian diseases can commonly spread into the peritoneal cavity. Peritoneal seeding may occur in a spectrum of adnexal conditions including infectious diseases, endomet…

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…

Thoracic endometriosis is considered to be rare, but is the most frequent form of extra-abdominopelvic endometriosis. Thoracic endometriosis syndrome affects women of reproductive age. Diagnosis is mainly based on clinical findings, which c…
