ObjectivesTo assess the diagnostic accuracy of a junctional zone (JZ) thickness of ≥ 12 mm and morphological features of the JZ in MRI in diagnosing adenomyosis in a premenopausal study population.MethodsThis single-center, prospective obse…

ObjectivesTo perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features that will aid in the diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder (ACS) and provide a summary of the diagnostic accuracy of…

ObjectivesTo describe MRI features of accessory cavitated uterine mass (ACUM) with surgical correlations.MethodsEleven young women with an ACUM at pathology underwent preoperative pelvic MRI. Two experienced radiologists retrospectively ana…

ObjectiveThe aim of the Female Pelvic Imaging Working Group of the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) was to develop imaging guidelines for MR work-up in patients with known or suspected uterine leiomyomas.MethodsGuidelines for…

An update of the 2010 published ESUR recommendations of MRI of the sonographically indeterminate adnexal mass integrating functional techniques is provided. An algorithmic approach using sagittal T2 and a set of transaxial T1 and T2WI allow…

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the anatomical features and clinical settings of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome and correlate them with patterns of uterine involvement. METHODS: Pelvic magnetic resonance images and medical recor…

ObjectivesWe studied the feasibility of high-resolution T2-weighted cervical cancer imaging on an ultra-high-field 7.0-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system using an endorectal antenna of 4.7-mm thickness.MethodsA feasibility study on 2…

ObjectivesTo compare the outcomes of percutaneous image-guided cryoablation of symptomatic abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) versus surgery alone.MethodsFrom 2004 to 2016, cryoablation or surgery alone was performed under local (n = 5) or …

ObjectivesTo evaluate the diagnostic performance of quantitative values and MRI findings for differentiating seromucinous borderline tumours (SMBTs) from endometriosis-related malignant ovarian tumours (MT).MethodsThis retrospective study e…

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition of unknown aetiology that primarily affects women of reproductive age. The accepted first-line imaging modality is pelvic ultrasound. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasing…

PurposeTo evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diaphragmatic endometriosis diagnosis.Materials and methodsOver a 2-year period, all diaphragmatic MRI performed in the context of diaphragmatic endometriosis were reviewed. Axial and …

ObjectiveTo compare the capabilities of standard pelvic MRI with low-resolution pelvic MRI using fast breath-hold sequences to evaluate deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).MethodsSixty-eight consecutive women with suspected DIE were studi…

ObjectiveTo assess the diagnostic confidence of multiple readers in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnosis of endometriosis.MethodsSixty-five patients (mean age 33; range 19-45 years) who had undergone MRI were retrospectively evalu…

ObjectiveTo prospectively evaluate microstructural abnormalities in sacral nerve roots in women affected by chronic pelvic pain associated with endometriosis.MethodsWe enrolled 30 women with an ultrasound diagnosis of endometriosis and mode…

ObjectivesTo identify imaging predictors for complete necrosis after uterine artery embolisation (UAE) via quantitative measurement of the signal intensity obtained from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a patient with adenomyosis.Methods…

ObjectiveTo investigate the contribution of contrast-enhanced MR-colonography (CE-MR-C) for the diagnosis of intestinal endometriosis.MethodsOne hundred and four women with suspected endometriosis were prospectively enrolled. All patients w…

ObjectivesAdenomyosis is a disorder defined by the presence of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) is currently the first-line examination for this condition and the aim of this paper i…

OBJECTIVE: Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is defined as endometrial tissue that is superficial to the peritoneum. AWE is often difficult to diagnose, mimicking a broad spectrum of diseases. The aim of this study was to describe the appe…

ObjectiveTo study the sensitivity of MRI performed utilising vaginal and rectal opacification with ultrasound gel in the detection of deep pelvic endometriosis.Material and methodsThis was a prospective monocentric study. All patients evalu…

Endometriosis is one of the most important causes of infertility; however the precise mechanism by which it affects female fertility is unclear. The objective of this study was to study the functional aspects of the uterus by evaluating ute…
