BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common but frequently underdiagnosed gynecological disorder with significant implications for fertility and reproductive outcomes. Despite advances in imaging, accurate recognition remains challenging due to ope…

Aimo point out how novel analysis tools of AI can make sense of the data acquired during OL and OC diagnosis and treatment in an effort to help improve and standardize the patient pathway for these disease.Material and methodsultilizing pro…

Thickening of the gallbladder wall is often associated with acute or chronic cholecystitis, adenomyomatosis and gallbladder carcinoma or seen in the context of liver and systemic diseases (acute hepatitis, cirrhosis, sepsis). Here we presen…

PURPOSE: To describe a standardized intraoperative transvaginal ultrasound (IOTVUS) technique for assessing rectosigmoid deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and to explore its potential advantages in guiding real-time surgical decision-m…

Endometriosis is a multifocal disease of pelvis affecting mostly reproductive age women. It can involve genital and extra genital organs. The gastrointestinal tract including rectum and sigmoid colon is the most affected extragenital site. …

ObjectivesDespite advancements in modern medicine, the effectiveness of in vitro fertilization (IVF) remains low. This study aimed to assess the impact of specific features of T-shaped uterine cavity malformation and its intermediate forms …

Endometrial cancer arising in adenomyosis (EC-AIA), i.e., malignant transformation of the endometrium within adenomyotic foci, is a very unusual condition. We report a postmenopausal woman who had an unexpected diagnosis of uterine serous c…

ObjectivesThe primary objective was to detect the number of women developing isthmocele following lower segment caesarean section. The secondary objectives included analysing the risk factors associated with developing isthmocele and measur…

ObjectiveThe aim of the study is to describe the radiological spectrum of appearances of ovarian lymphoma (OL). The manuscript describes the radiological aspects of OL to assist the radiologist in achieving correct orientation of the diagno…

AimsTransvaginal sonography (TVS) is not applicable for evaluating the endometrium in some cases with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) such as virgin women. The aim of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic value of transrectal …

May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a congenital vascular alteration that is part of a restricted category of very rare vascular syndromes that have in common the compression of an arterial or venous vessel. MTS, first described in 1957, is due t…

PurposeThis study aimed at evaluating the value of uterine biophysical profile (UBP) scoring to predict the pregnancy rate after IUI.MethodsThis prospective study was carried out on 85 women who were referred to our tertiary teaching center…

ObjectiveUltrasonography (US) is a non-invasive, non-ionizing radiation modality highly successful at diagnosing inguinal hernia. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the accuracy of ultrasound in evaluating defects of fascia in inguinal…

PurposeTo objective of this study is to discuss the ultrasonographic technique to diagnose uterine enhanced myometrial vascularity/arteriovenous malformation (EMV/AVM) and differentiate it from retained products of conception. The study als…

Spontaneous rectus sheath hematoma (SRSH) is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain characterized by bleeding within the rectus sheath; it is a benign condition and, in most cases, it is treated conservatively. Bleeding of the abdominal …

Femoral hernia is the protrusion of a peritoneal sac through the femoral ring into the femoral canal lying deep and inferior to the inguinal ligament. The hernia sac usually contains preperitoneal fat, omentum, bowel, or fluid. Ultrasound i…

The anterior abdominal wall, which is composed of three layers (skin and adipose tissues; the myofascial layer; and the deep layer, consisting of the transversalis fascia, preperitoneal fat, and the parietal peritoneum), has many functions:…

Soft-tissue palpable lesions are common in clinical practice, and ultrasound (US) represents the first imaging option in the evaluation of a patient with a soft-tissue swelling. A full and systematic US assessment is necessary, however. Thi…

Endometriosis is a benign disease characterized by endometrial glands and stroma outside the endometrial cavity. We reported two cases of endometriosis of the abdominal wall, with subcutaneous and intramuscular localization, that became sym…

There is an increasing incidence of cesarean scar defect. This article will discuss and show different and variable sonographic presentations of scar niches and uterine postpartum ultrasonography with vaginal birth after cesarean section th…

Vascular anomalies are classified as vascular tumors (VT) and vascular malformations (VM). VTs are divided according to their clinical behavior, while VMs are classified according to their flow characteristics, histopathologic features, and…

Ultrasonography is the first-line imaging modality in the evaluation of the female pelvis in childhood and adolescence, because it is easy to perform, non-invasive and it does not require sedation. The transabdominal approach is preferred i…

We present here the first-reported case of tubal metastasis from colorectal cancer diagnosed by a preoperative pelvic ultrasound. A 53-year-old woman suffering from vaginal discharge was referred to us 2 years after she underwent a partial …

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome, also known as Wilkie's syndrome, is a rare vascular disease caused by the anomalous course of the superior mesenteric artery arising from the abdominal aorta with a smaller angle than the norm (<22°). Th…

Cesarean scar implantation represents a rare, though growing subset of potentially life-threatening ectopic pregnancy. Because of the global increase in cesarean sections as well as the improved diagnostic abilities of transvaginal ultrasou…
