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-…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) using the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) terminology in the detection of deep endometriosis (DE). DESIGN: International multicenter prospective diagn…

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…

• Focal adenomyosis is a heterogeneous group of different entities. • Using sonographic features, five different types can be identified. • Correct identification of these forms may lead to new insights on symptoms and management of each of…

BackgroundA uterine niche after caesarean section may play a role in secondary infertility. The transvaginal approach is a newly developed minimally invasive surgical technique for repairing a uterine isthmocele.ObjectivesTo report on the f…

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…

European patients cross the borders of their countries to receive more patient-centred healthcare. Benchmarking across European countries for the patient-centredness of endometriosis care had yet to be performed. This study proved the facto…

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…

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 …

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…

Measuring vascularization in uterine fibroids is important for their diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Vascularization can be measured by power Doppler ultrasound. The power Doppler signal depends on fibroid characteristics and on a varie…
