OBJECTIVE: To develop and evaluate a T2 MR-based radiomics prediction model incorporating radiomics features and clinical parameters to predict the response to magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) in patients with a…

OBJECTIVES: To 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. METHODS: This single-center, prospectiv…

OBJECTIVES: To 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 …

OBJECTIVES: To describe MRI features of accessory cavitated uterine mass (ACUM) with surgical correlations. METHODS: Eleven young women with an ACUM at pathology underwent preoperative pelvic MRI. Two experienced radiologists retrospective…

OBJECTIVE: The 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. METHODS: Guidelin…

OBJECTIVES: Obtain summary estimates of sensitivity and specificity for imaging modalities for chronic pancreatitis (CP) assessment. METHODS: A systematic search was performed in Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Embase and CINAHL databases for s…

UNLABELLED: 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 an…

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…

OBJECTIVES: We 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. METHODS: A feasibility stud…

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

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of quantitative values and MRI findings for differentiating seromucinous borderline tumours (SMBTs) from endometriosis-related malignant ovarian tumours (MT). METHODS: This retrospective s…

UNLABELLED: 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) i…

PURPOSE: To evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diaphragmatic endometriosis diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Over a 2-year period, all diaphragmatic MRI performed in the context of diaphragmatic endometriosis were reviewed. Axia…

PURPOSE: To determine if second-opinion review of gynaecologic oncologic (GynOnc) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by sub-specialized radiologists impacts patient care. METHODS: 469 second-opinion MRI interpretations rendered by GynOnc rad…

OBJECTIVES: To determine the usefulness of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in predicting response to uterine artery embolization (UAE) for symptomatic adenomyosis. METHODS: A prospective study was performed on 25 patients who unde…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the capabilities of standard pelvic MRI with low-resolution pelvic MRI using fast breath-hold sequences to evaluate deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). METHODS: Sixty-eight consecutive women with suspected DIE were…

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

OBJECTIVE: To prospectively evaluate microstructural abnormalities in sacral nerve roots in women affected by chronic pelvic pain associated with endometriosis. METHODS: We enrolled 30 women with an ultrasound diagnosis of endometriosis an…

OBJECTIVES: To 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. MET…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the contribution of contrast-enhanced MR-colonography (CE-MR-C) for the diagnosis of intestinal endometriosis. METHODS: One hundred and four women with suspected endometriosis were prospectively enrolled. All pati…

OBJECTIVES: Adenomyosis 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…

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…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of MRI including DWI on therapeutic decision-making and costs in the work-up of patients with a indeterminate adnexal mass on ultrasound. METHODS: Thirty-eight patients with indeterminate ovarian lesions …

PURPOSE: To prospectively evaluate the ability of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) to assess physiological microvascular states in normal myometrium. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty-five women (62 women of repro…
