Myometrial lesions are a common indication for pelvic imaging, with accurate characterisation crucial for guiding management. While ultrasonography remains the first-line modality, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers superior tissue con…

Endometriosis is a chronic oestrogen-dependent condition characterised by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Although benign, the associated chronic inflammation and fibrosis can result in substantial symptomatic bu…

AIM: Dysmenorrhea, characterised by painful menstruation, is a prevalent condition affecting up to 90% of menstruating women, with a significant impact on quality of life and daily functioning. Primary dysmenorrhea occurs without identifiab…

AIM: This study sought to design a multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics machine learning model capable of predicting high-intensity focussed ultrasound (HIFU) ablation outcomes in adenomyosis, with the further implemen…

AIMS: To develop a model predicting high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) efficacy in adenomyosis treatment using enhanced T1WI and T2WI-FS radiomics combined with clinical imaging features. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 137…

AIM: We aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of transvaginal sonography (TVS) versus magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in the rectovaginal septum (RVS) of affected patients. MATERI…

Numerous conditions can mimic ovarian malignancy. Identifying the origin of a pelvic mass or disseminated peritoneal abnormality on imaging is important to ensure that the patient receives optimal management by the appropriate clinical team…

AIM: To construct and validate a computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics nomogram integrating radiomics signature and clinical factors to distinguish ovarian cystadenomas and endometriotic cysts. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 287 pati…

Caesarean-section scar endometriosis (CSSE) is a form of extra-pelvic endometriosis developing through endometrial cell implantation anywhere along the route of a previous caesarean section (CS) surgery, including the skin, subcutaneous tis…

AIM: To assess the correlation between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathology for predicting muscular infiltration of endometriosis in the bowel wall in patients undergoing colorectal resection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All cons…

AIM: To investigate the value of amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) imaging and R2∗ mapping of cystic fluid in differentiating ovarian endometriotic cysts (OE) from other ovarian cystic (OOC) lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 4…

AIM: To evaluate the presentations of Müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) associated with unilateral renal agenesis (URA) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2014 to 2021, 92 patients with MDAs coexisting with URA …

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the uterine artery embolisation (UAE) in combination with methotrexate (MTX) for conservative management of placental adhesive disorders. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients with placental adhesive di…

AIM: To determine the optimal repetition time (TR) of cine imaging for uterine peristalsis on 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-three young female volunteers (age range: 23-28 years, mean: 24.91±1.12 years…

AIM: To outline the anatomical variations of obstructive reproductive tract anomalies (ORTA) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and its role in preoperative evaluation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MRI and treatment of 21 paediatric patients…

Endometriosis is a common cause of chronic pelvic pain and infertility. It is defined as the occurrence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity and can manifest as a peritoneal, ovarian or infiltrating form, the latter being referr…

AIM: To investigate the utility of diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of abdominal wall endometrioma (AWE) and to compare the ADC (apparent diffusion coefficient) values of AWE with those of the uterin…

Benign uterine disease is a common entity affecting women of all ages. Ultrasound has historically been the predominant imaging method used in the evaluation of benign gynaecological disease, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) being reserved …

AIM: To evaluate the performance of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in the measurement of endometrial thickness and assessment for endometrial disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy-nine MDCT examinations, including sagittal refo…

AIM: To evaluate the accuracy of water enema computed tomography (CT) for predicting the location of endometriosis in patients with contraindications to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), focusing on rectosigmoid lesions and having laparosco…

Thoracic endometriosis is considered to be rare, but is the most frequent form of extra-abdominopelvic endometriosis. Thoracic endometriosis syndrome affects women of reproductive age. Diagnosis is mainly based on clinical findings, which c…

Clinically equivocal abdominal wall lesions often pose diagnostic dilemmas for clinicians. It can be equally challenging to appreciate the nature of abdominal wall lesions found incidentally on abdominal ultrasound examinations. Ultrasound …

AIM: To evaluate image quality and diagnostic accuracy of two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the evaluation of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and…
