HISTORY: A 30-year-old female patient with a history of infertility and no pregnancy presented to the gynecologic endometriosis clinic for follow-up 1 month after oocyte retrieval, to be evaluated for pelvic optimization before potential em…

Endometriosis is a common condition impacting approximately 190 million individuals and up to 50% of women with infertility globally. The disease is characterized by endometrial-like tissue located outside of the uterine corpus, which cause…

Endometriosis is a prevalent and potentially debilitating condition that mostly affects individuals of reproductive age, and often has a substantial diagnostic delay. US is usually the first-line imaging modality used when patients report c…

A 60-year-old woman presented with intermittent abdominal pain, an elevated serum CA-125 level, and an abnormal CT examination and was ultimately diagnosed with advanced-stage high-grade serous ovarian cancer. Key tumor locations on CT scan…

MRI plays an important role as a secondary test or problem-solving modality in the evaluation of adnexal lesions depicted at US. MRI has increased specificity compared with US, decreasing the number of false-positive diagnoses for malignanc…

Background Several US risk stratification schemas for assessing adnexal lesions exist. These multiple-subcategory systems may be more multifaceted than necessary for isolated adnexal lesions in average-risk women. Purpose To explore whether…

Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) with 95% ethanol in patients with primary or recurrent ovarian endometriomas. Materials and Methods In this prospective study, 14 participants (mean age, 32 year…

Purpose To assess transvaginal coregistered photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and pulse-echo US for diagnosis of ovarian cancer based on functional parameters provided by PAT. Materials and Methods Between February 2017 and December 2017, 26 o…

Purpose To determine pregnancy rates after conventional and partial uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). Materials and Methods The study received institutional review board approval and all patients gave written informed consent. A retrospec…

PURPOSE: To investigate magnetic resonance (MR) volumetry of endometrial tumors and its association with deep myometrial invasion, tumor grade, and lymphovascular invasion and to assess the value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) hist…

PURPOSE: To prospectively determine the accuracy of 3.0-T magnetic resonance (MR) enterography in the preoperative assessment of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions located in the bowel above the rectosigmoid junction. MATERIALS …

PURPOSE: To determine sensitivity and specificity of the T2 dark spot sign in helping to distinguish endometriomas from other hemorrhagic adnexal lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This HIPAA-compliant, institutional review board-approved ret…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the diverse magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of the pelvis in women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective review had institutional review board approval …

PURPOSE: To determine levator ani muscle complex anatomic findings in nulliparous patients at magnetic resonance (MR) imaging examinations performed with opacification of the vagina and rectum with ultrasonographic gel. MATERIALS AND METHO…

The Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound convened a panel of specialists from gynecology, radiology, and pathology to arrive at a consensus regarding the management of ovarian and other adnexal cysts imaged sonographically in asymptomatic …

PURPOSE: To compare the image quality of water-only images generated from a dual-echo Dixon technique with that of standard fast spin-echo T1-weighted chemical shift fat-suppressed images obtained in patients evaluated for pelvic pain with …

PURPOSE: To determine the accuracy of 3.0-T pelvic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the preoperative assessment of endometriosis and to evaluate colon wall involvement after intrarectal gel administration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Institut…

PURPOSE: To prospectively evaluate anticholinergic drug effects on uterine peristalsis and sporadic myometrial contractions, as well as on intestinal motion, with cine magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospectiv…

PURPOSE: To retrospectively evaluate magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-based thermometry and thermal dosimetry during focused ultrasound treatments of uterine leiomyomas (ie, fibroids). MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients gave written inform…

PURPOSE: To evaluate prospectively ultrasonography (US)-guided cyst aspiration and methotrexate injection in the management of simple and endometriotic ovarian cysts in selected patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Authors obtained informed pa…

PURPOSE: To prospectively evaluate the midterm results of uterine artery embolization for symptomatic adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study protocol was approved by the institutional review board, and all participants gave written …

PURPOSE: To retrospectively evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in depicting posterior cul-de-sac obliteration in patients with endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Institutional review board approval was not required…
