OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationship between the features of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on T2 weighted images (T2WI) and the therapeutic efficacy of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) on adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHOD…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical diagnostic ability of computed diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for differentiating decidualized endometrioma from ovarian cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Computed DWI technique was retrospectively applied …

PURPOSE: To determine the accuracy of ENZIAN score, as detected on MR imaging, compared to surgical-pathologic findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study was approved by the investigational review board and the requirement f…

PURPOSE: To determine if the menstrual cycle affects MR interpretation in patients with pelvic endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-one patients with either laparoscopically proven endometriosis, or a high clinical suspicion of dee…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of oxytocin on high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for the treatment of adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty-six patients with adenomyosis from three hospitals were randomly assigne…

PURPOSE: To compare the accuracy of multidetector computerized tomography enema (MDCT-e) and magnetic resonance enema (MRI-e) in determining the presence of sigmoid and rectal endometriotic nodules. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 260 women (32.6 ±…

This study aims to evaluate the correlation of MRI findings with double-balloon urethrography (DBU) in diagnosing female urethral diverticula and other periurethral lesions. In this retrospective study, females with clinically suspected per…

CT colonography (CTC) is a robust and reliable imaging test of the colon. Accuracy for the detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) is as high as conventional colonoscopy (CC). Identification of polyp is size dependent, with large lesions (≥10m…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the value of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) for the evaluation of cyclic morphological and hemorrhagic changes in abdominal wall endometriomas (AWE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Four…

OBJECTIVES: To prospectively investigate diagnostic value and tolerability of MRI after intra-vaginal gel opacification for diagnosis and preoperative assessment of deeply infiltrating endometriosis. METHODS: Sixty-three women with clinica…

OBJECTIVES: To determine the value of postcontrast MR imaging (MRI) in cases of suspected pelvic endometriosis by assessing interobserver variability of MR imaging according to the endometriotic locations. METHODS: This retrospective study…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis infiltrating the bowel may be difficult to differentiate from colorectal carcinoma in cases that present with non-specific clinical and imaging features. The aim of this study is to assess the value of MR diffusion-…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis represents an important clinical problem in women of reproductive age with high impact on quality of life, work productivity and health care management. The aim of this study is to define the role of 3T magnetom …

PURPOSE: To test the feasibility of MRI-guided high intensity focused ultrasound ablation for adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with symptomatic adenomyosis were treated with MRI-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRIgHIF…

OBJECTIVE: Both the intraperitoneal seeding and the uterine-vesical extension theory have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis of bladder endometriosis. The aim of this study was to describe MR imaging findings of bladder endometriosis…

PURPOSE: To investigate the value of diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI), especially apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in the differentiation of uterine adenomyosis and leiomyoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 17 patients with uterine leiomyom…

PURPOSE: Determining if Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) accuracy in diagnosing endometriosis is related to radiologist's expertise. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Written informed consent was obtained from all patients. This study is compliant to…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and therapeutic efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for the treatment of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-one consecutive pat…

OBJECTIVE: In this study, the authors discussed the feasibility and value of diffusion-weighted (DW) MR imaging in the detection of uterine endometrial cancer in addition to conventional nonenhanced MR images. METHODS AND MATERIALS: DW ima…

OBJECTIVES: To determine the computed tomography (CT) features of adenomyosis in patients with known adenomyosis as established with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. METHODS: A computerized search identified 16 women with pelvic MR diagnos…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study is to determine long-term clinical efficacy of uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) for symptomatic fibroids in conjunction with MR evaluation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixteen patients with a follow-up …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of uterine artery embolisation (UAE) in the treatment of adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 27 women with symptomatic adenomyosis diagnosed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) underwent UAE between 1998 and 2…

In 38 patients with surgically-staged ovarian carcinoma, the role of CT scan in diagnosis of subcapsular liver metastases as well as its importance in determining the stage of ovarian carcinoma were investigated. Assessment of the perihepat…
