ObjectiveTo describe the imaging features of adnexal lesions during pregnancy and assess the performance of current models for the risk assessment of such lesions.MethodsThis was a PROSPERO-registered systematic review including studies pub…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the accuracy of risk prediction models and scores for diagnosing ovarian cancer in premenopausal women presenting to secondary care with symptoms and abnormal test results. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTI…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the future priorities for ectopic pregnancy research. DESIGN: Potential research questions were collated from an initial international survey, a systematic review of clinical practice guidelines, and Cochrane system…

Ultrasound is the first-line modality for imaging the female gynecological organs in children and adolescents. Its interpretation relies on understanding the physiological changes in organ appearance from birth through puberty. This narrati…

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-…

BACKGROUND: A 27-year-old nulliparous woman with a history of subfertility presented to a routine dating scan at 13 + 1 weeks gestation with a history of left-sided abdominal pain. KEY FINDINGS: Both standard transabdominal ultrasound and …

BACKGROUND: Pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) is classified if an early pregnancy is not visualised on transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS). Biomarkers currently used to triage PUL outcomes have varying accuracy. Delayed or missed diagnosi…

INTRODUCTION: A symptomatic uterine niche is a long-term complication after a cesarean section (CS). A group of international niche experts reached consensus on a standardized definition of a disorder caused by a symptomatic niche, named ce…

BACKGROUND: Several diagnostic prediction models to help clinicians discriminate between benign and malignant adnexal masses are available. This study is a head-to-head comparison of the performance of the Assessment of Different NEoplasias…

BACKGROUND: Uterine niches in the Caesarean section scar are seen in approximately half of women with a history of caesarean delivery. Whilst a structured ultrasound assessment of caesarean defects has been described, there is no consensus …

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 …

IMPORTANCE: Approximately 60% of women develop a uterine niche after a cesarean delivery (CD). A niche is associated with various gynecological symptoms including abnormal uterine bleeding, pain, and infertility, but there is little consens…

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…

In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of demographic, histopathological, and sonographic characteristics between pre- and postmenopausal women diagnosed with endometrial cancer, while also examining sonographic and anthropometr…

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…

INTRODUCTION: There is no global agreement on how to best determine pregnancy of unknown location viability and location using biomarkers. Measurements of progesterone and β human chorionic gonadotropin (βhCG) are still used in clinical pra…

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…
