Adenomyosis is a benign invasion of endometrial glands and stroma into the uterine myometrium. [1, 2]. It can present with heavy and painful menstrual bleeding or be asymptomatic [2-4]. Over last three decades the diagnosis of adenomyosis h…

Our aim was to compare the inter-rater agreement of Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) regarding diagnosing adenomyosis and for various predefined imaging features of adenomyosis in the same set of wome…

Our aim was to compare the inter-rater agreement about transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with regard to diagnosing adenomyosis and for assessing various predefined imaging features of adenomyosis, in 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…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynaecological disease that affects pelvic structures and causes adhesions. Endometriosis outside the pelvis exists but is rarer. Deep endometriosis may affect organs such as the urinary bladder,…

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…

To determine the prevalence of endometriosis detected at transvaginal ultrasound examination in different anatomical locations in women with dysmenorrhea and without previously known endometriosis. Women of fertile age with dysmenorrhea und…

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of hormonal treatment on patients' symptoms in women with dysmenorrhea depending on ultrasound findings. Women with dysmenorrhea and suspected endometriosis underwent transvaginal ultrasound ex…

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…

BACKGROUND: Women with endometriosis often experience gastrointestinal symptoms. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs are used to treat endometriosis; however, some patients develop gastrointestinal dysmotility following this treat…

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 estimate the prevalence of ultrasound features of adenomyosis in gynecologically asymptomatic premenopausal women 20–39 years old. This is a prospective observational study. 644 volunteers 20–39 years old recruited from a Swedish populat…

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…
