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 …

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…

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…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) in predicting deep endometriosis (DE) following the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) consensus methodology. METHODS: This was an international m…

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…

STUDY QUESTION: Can the Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI) be estimated accurately before surgery? SUMMARY ANSWER: The EFI can be estimated accurately based on mere clinical/ultrasound information, with some improvement after adding data f…

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…

To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) to predict overall deep endometriosis (DE) and DE locations by applying the IDEA terminology. This was an international, multicentre prospective diagnostic accuracy study …

This report describes a case of a uterine cystic myometrial lesion in a 16-year-old adolescent girl presenting with pelvic pain and severe progressively worsening dysmenorrhoea. Patient's symptoms, ultrasound and MRI were suggestive of juve…

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…

OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of ovarian pure endometrioid carcinomas. METHODS: This was a retrospective multicenter study of patients with a histological diagnosis of pure endometrioid carcinoma. We ide…

OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of ovarian pure clear cell carcinoma. METHODS: This was a retrospective study involving data from 11 ultrasound centers. From the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA)…

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…
