Müllerian anomalies represent a spectrum of congenital malformations of the female reproductive tract. Over the decades, various classifications have been developed to categorize these anomalies. Based on a classification proposed by Kaufma…

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the ultrasonographic findings in female inmates in a prison unit in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, and to analyze the associations between ultrasonographic findings and sociodemographic characteristics. MATERIAL…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate uterine function by using cine magnetic resonance imaging to visualize the contractile movements of the uterus in patients with and without deep infiltrating endometriosis (with or without associated adenomyosis). MA…

Uterine fibroids are the most common benign gynecologic tumors in women of reproductive age, and ultrasound is the first-line imaging modality for their diagnosis and characterization. The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetri…

ObjectiveTo assess the performance of the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System Magnetic Resonance Imaging (O-RADS MRI) score in the evaluation of adnexal masses and to provide technical notes about its current MRI parameters and concep…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of using highly compressible calibrated microspheres in uterine artery embolization (UAE) for the treatment of uterine fibroids.Materials and methodsThis was a prospective multicenter study. Thir…

ObjectiveTo evaluate and reconstruct three-dimensional images of vascularization along the fallopian tube (FT), as well as to determine its relationship with the ovary and ovarian fimbria, and to quantify the blood vessels along the FT acco…

Although secondary involvement of the broad ligament by malignant tumors arising elsewhere in the abdomen and pelvis is common, primary tumors in this location are rare. Tumors of the broad ligament can be of mesenchymal and mixed nature, s…

Developments in magnetic resonance imaging have expanded its role in the assessment of the female pelvis, including the diagnosis of ovarian lesions. In this setting, diffusion-weighted imaging has proven its diagnostic value, which is part…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility of quantifying visceral adipose tissue (VAT) on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, using freeware, as well as calculating intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the added value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the preoperative assessment of myometrial invasion in endometrial cancer, in comparison with T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic reson…

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. When endometrial implants penetrate more than 5 mm into the peritoneum, the condition is referred to as deep pelvic endometriosis. Although laparoscopy…

Adnexal torsion is characterized by partial or complete rotation of the suspensory ligament of the ovary and its corresponding vascular pedicle, resulting in vascular impairment that can culminate in hemorrhagic infarction, as well as necro…

25-35% in individuals without an ICA, compared with 2-4% in the general population. Less commonly, it may be associated with delayed neuropsychomotor development and agenesis of the corpus callosum, especially in patients with bilateral car…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the indications for performing magnetic resonance imaging of the female pelvis at a referral center for cancer.Materials and methodsThis was a retrospective, single-center study, conducted by reviewing medical records a…

Gestational trophoblastic disease is an abnormality of pregnancy that encompasses a group of diseases that differ from each other in their propensity for regression, invasion, metastasis, and recurrence. In the past, it was common for patie…

Magnetic resonance imaging is a method with high contrast resolution widely used in the assessment of pelvic gynecological diseases. However, the potential of such method to diagnose vaginal lesions is still underestimated, probably due to …

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a rare and frequently severe entity characterized by total or partial involvement of small bowel loops by a membrane of fibrous tissue. The disease presents with nonspecific clinical features of intes…
