Ultrasound technology with or without color Doppler allows a real-time evaluation of the entire female pelvis including gynecologic and non-gynecological organs, as well as their pathology. As ultrasound is an accurate tool for gynecologica…

To evaluate reproductive results of patients presenting adenomyosis under Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) criteria who underwent assisted reproductive techniques (ART) using oocyte donation or preimplantation genetic test…

Endometriosis is a chronic systemic disease that can cause pain, infertility and reduced quality of life. Diagnosing endometriosis remains challenging, which yields diagnostic delays for patients. Research on diagnostic test accuracy in end…

BACKGROUND: Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used for the clinical diagnosis of adenomyosis. OBJECTIVES: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of TVS and MRI for the diagnosis of adenomyosis. SEARCH STRA…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of seven classical Machine Learning (ML) models trained with ultrasound (US) soft markers to raise suspicion of endometriotic bowel involvement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Input dat…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) for detecting parametrial deep endometriosis, using laparoscopy as the reference standard. METHODS: A search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE and Web of Science for studie…

The development of imaging methods over the last 50 years has revolutionized medicine, broadening the diagnostic possibilities in a non-invasive way. The use and storage of digital data allow immediate review of information obtained. More r…

The role of ultrasound in the detection of the parametrial localisation of deep endometriosis although associated with ureteral stenosis and linked with a complex surgery with a high risk of intra and post-operative complications, is poor i…

To determine the pooled recurrence rate of benign adnexal masses/cysts (namely simple cyst, endometrioma, hydrosapinx, peritoneal cyst) after transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration, with or without sclerotherapy. A search of studies publ…

The aim of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) to detect parametrial endometriosis, using laparoscopy as the reference standard. A search for studies evaluating the TVS for assessi…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the pooled recurrence rate of benign adnexal masses/cysts (namely simple cyst, endometrioma, hydrosalpinx, peritoneal cyst) after transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration, with or without sclerotherapy. DATA SOURCE…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the reproducibility of ultrasonographic (US) findings of rectosigmoid endometriosis among examiners with different level of expertise using stored three-dimensional (3D) volumes of the posterior compartment of the pelv…

The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of seven classical machine learning (ML) models trained with ultrasound (US) soft markers to raise suspicion of endometriosis of uterosacral ligaments. Input data to the models was retrieved…

The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of seven classical machine learning (ML) models trained with ultrasound (US) soft markers to raise suspicion of forniceal endometriotic involvement. Input data to the models was retrieved fr…

Two main theories have been proposed to explain the origin of adenomyosis. The first theory postulated that adenomyosis results from invagination of the endometrial basalis into the myometrium as a repair mechanism after injury. Alternative…

Ultrasound is an effective tool to detect and characterize endometriosis lesions. Variances in endometriosis lesions' appearance and distorted anatomy secondary to adhesions and fibrosis present as major difficulties during the complete son…

Uterine contractions may affect the thickness and features of the myometrial wall as well as the shape of the uterine cavity. The transient nature of these changes can be appreciated during real-time two-dimensional ultrasound examination a…

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 …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of ultrasound (US) soft markers to raise suspicion of uterosacral involvement in women suspected of having deep endometriosis. We included in this prospective observational study all patients wi…
