Women are overall underrepresented in high-level leadership positions across organizations, particularly in the fields of healthcare, medical imaging, and oncology, despite the majority of the workforce in these industries being female. Wom…

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are prevalent chronic inflammatory conditions that significantly impact reproductive-age women, leading to debilitating symptoms such as pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and infertility. Endometriosis is characterized…

Ultrasonography, especially Transvaginal sonography (TVS) is an effective, non-invasive and reliable investigation for the diagnosis of adenomyosis. The Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment group consensus terminology provides a stan…

ObjectivesHysterosalpingography (HSG) remains the first-line imaging technique for assessing fallopian tube conditions due to its accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and high diagnostic accuracy. Intravasation, the leakage of contrast media …

OBJECTIVES: Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) consists of endometrial tissue between the peritoneum and the abdominal wall. The established treatment involves amenorrheic drugs-not always successful and tolerated-or invasive surgery. In th…

ObjectivesTo identify the rate of clinically significant post-embolization syndrome (csPES) in our cohort of patients after uterine artery embolization (UAE) for symptomatic fibroids and to identify risk factors associated with the developm…

OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis is a significant cause of chronic abdominal pain and infertility in females, often overlooked due to its resemblance to other abdominopelvic pathologies. This study aims to compare the diagnostic performance and ag…

OBJECTIVES: To assess the safety and efficacy of percutaneous cryoablation (CA) of soft-tissue tumours [desmoid tumours (DTs), vascular malformations (VMs), and abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE)]. METHODS: This systematic review of studie…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to establish the first-ever MRI classification of uterosacral ligament (USL) involvement in deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), based on reliable preoperative MRI features correlated with positive predictive v…

ObjectiveTo explore the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical features in identifying ovarian thecoma-fibroma (OTF) with cystic degeneration and ovary adenofibroma (OAF).MethodsA total of 40 patients with OTF (OTF group) an…

Pathologies of the vagina are important causes of symptoms related to the genital tract in women. They can be missed on transabdominal ultrasonography (USG), which is the baseline modality used for evaluation of gynaecological complaints. T…

ObjectiveThe introduction of Targeted Lung Health Checks (TLHC) to screen for lung cancer has highlighted that incidental findings are common and require management strategies. This study analyses retrospectively, incidentally detected brea…

ObjectiveTo develop and validate an MR-based radiomics nomogram combining different imaging sequences (ADC mapping and T2 weighted imaging (T2WI)), different tumor regions (combined intra- and peritumoral regions), and different parameters …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of MRI-hysterosalpingogram (HSG) with semiquantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced perfusion, against the virtual multislice CT hysterosalpingogram (VHSG) as a reference standard. METHODS AND MA…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous microwave ablation (PMWA) for treating adenomyosis in the posterior uterine wall. METHODS: Thirty-six patients with symptomatic adenomyosis in the posterior uterine wall who ha…

Incidental ovarian lesions are asymptomatic lesions that are accidentally discovered during a CT or MRI examinations that involves the pelvic cavity or during a routine obstetric ultrasound study. Incidental ovarian masses are usually benig…

Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is an established technique to treat benign diseases of the uterus such as uterine leiomyomata (fibroids) and adenomyosis. This article reviews the use of UAE in these conditions and summarizes the evidence…

The peritoneum is a unique serosal membrane, which can be the site of primary tumors and, more commonly, secondary pathologic processes. Peritoneal carcinomatosis is the most common malignant condition to affect the peritoneal cavity, and t…

Although caesarean delivery is a safe procedure, however, with rising numbers being performed every year globally, increasing number of complications are being encountered by clinicians and radiologists. These complications can be early, oc…

ObjectiveTo compare the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) with baseline ultrasound (B-US) in ureteral neoplasms.MethodsRetrospective analysis, comprising clinical presentation, image appearances, and diagnostic re…

Pathologic involvement of the peritoneum can result from a wide variety of conditions, including both neoplastic and non-neoplastic entities. Neoplastic involvement of the peritoneal ligaments, mesenteries, and spaces from malignant spread …

Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) is a valuable adjunctive tool that can provide real-time diagnostic information in surgery that has the potential to alter patient management and decrease complications. Lesion localization, characterization…

Although rare, uterine sarcoma is a diagnosis that no one wants to miss. Often benign leiomyomas (fibroids) and uterine sarcomas can be differentiated due to the typical low T2 signal intensity contents and well-defined appearances of benig…

OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) patients show different clinical characteristics compared with non-EAOC patients. However, a few studies are focused on the imaging characteristics of EAOC until now. We assessed MR…
