Several imaging options are available today to diagnose endometriosis. Currently, the two techniques most used are sonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Three-dimensional (3D) sonography has proved to be particularly sensitive in…

ObjectiveTo assess the diagnostic confidence of multiple readers in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnosis of endometriosis.MethodsSixty-five patients (mean age 33; range 19-45 years) who had undergone MRI were retrospectively evalu…

PURPOSE: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of MRI and "tenderness-guided" transvaginal ultrasonography (tg-TVUS) in the identification of recto-sigmoid endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Institutional Review Board approval for this stu…

BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a promising technique in the study of endometriosis, allowing a complete mapping of lesions before surgery. However, the value of MRI in the diagnosis of endometriosis in the bladder, in super…

The aim of our study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal tenderness guided ultrasonography and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the identification of rectosigmoid endometriosis. The study was performed in 59 pat…

The aim of our study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal tenderness-guided ultrasonography and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identification of the location of deep endometriosis implants. The study was perfor…

The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with an adnexal mass at high risk of ovarian endometriosis owing to the presence of chronic pelvic …
