PURPOSE: Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is widely used for diagnosing ovarian endometriosis but remains limited by significant operator dependency. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound-bas…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of endometriosis surgery in the retrocervical area and/or USL on the thickness of the posterior uterine isthmus, and subsequently the potential risk of posterior uterine ruptur…

Cesarean delivery is a common procedure, currently accounting for one-third of live births in the US. In the acute post-operative setting, it can be difficult to distinguish changes of the expected recovery of the uterus from those of compl…

OBJECTIVE: To review magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) techniques and evaluate the feasibility of quantifying the extent of fibrosis in patients with benign uterine disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic search of the MEDLINE a…

Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) has become an essential imaging modality for evaluating small bowel disorders, particularly Crohn's disease (CD), due to its superior soft-tissue contrast, multiplanar capabilities, and lack of ionizing…

OBJECTIVE: Prediction of the therapeutic efficacy of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for adenomyosis (AM) using an MRI-based radiomics model combined with clinical characteristics. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 126 p…

PURPOSE: Pelvic MRI is increasingly performed as a second-line investigation in suspected complex cases of endometriosis, to precisely localize lesions and to optimise surgical planning. To facilitate MRI evaluation and inter-disciplinary c…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the intermodality agreement between transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of deep pelvic endometriosis (DE), using a compartment-based framework that includes both classic…

Endometriosis is a gynecologic disorder characterized by endometrial-like tissue in ectopic locations, outside of the uterine cavity. In the adolescent population, the diagnosis of endometriosis is often overlooked as a cause of pelvic pain…

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Endometriosis affects 5-10% of women of reproductive age. Despite its prevalence, diagnosing endometriosis through imaging remains challenging. Advances in deep learning (DL) are revolutionizing the diagnosis and man…

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial tissue, often resulting in pelvic pain, infertility, and decreased quality of life. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a crucial role…

Artificial intelligence (AI) may have the potential to improve existing diagnostic challenges in endometriosis imaging. To better direct future research, this descriptive review summarizes the general landscape of AI applications in endomet…

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) imaging in distinguishing cystic or predominantly cystic ovarian lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 49 patients underwent APTw imaging at 3T…

PURPOSE: To determine whether presence of endometriomas on routine pelvic ultrasound (US) can predict presence of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DE) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and correlate endometrioma size with the presence of …

Endometriosis, a chronic and multifocal inflammatory condition with a substantial estrogen-dependent component, is often linked to infertility. Some patients with endometriosis may require surgical intervention or assisted reproductive tech…

Endometriosis is a common disease, affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Several intersecting guidelines and consensus statements provide information on imaging diagnosis and surveillance strategies for endometriomas. SR…

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder with a significant burden of morbidity that is often subject to substantial diagnostic delay. While transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is the first-line imaging tool for symptoms like chronic pelvi…

Endometriosis presents a common and significant health burden affecting approximately 1 in 10 reproductive age patients who are assigned female at birth. Recently guidelines have begun shifting away from laparoscopy as the first-line diagno…

Ovarian endometriotic cysts are associated with an increased risk of clear cell and endometrioid carcinomas, as well as borderline neoplasms. Although contrast-enhancing nodules on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggest malignancy, benign…

Endometriosis is a common condition primarily impacting women of childbearing age. Despite increasing awareness that endometriosis can be diagnosed non-invasively with the correct imaging techniques, there exists a significant delay in diag…

Endometriosis is a common cause of subfertility and infertility through myriad mechanisms. Imaging of endometriosis is critical for its diagnosis, characterization, and treatment. Understanding its imaging appearance, surgical management, a…

The uterine isthmus, the narrowest portion of the uterus, plays an essential role in female reproductive health and can be the site of several gynecological pathologies. Due to its strategic location, lesions in this region have unique char…

Endometriosis, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, presents significant diagnostic challenges due to its variable clinical presentation and anatomic distributions. Despite advances in imaging technology, accurate detectio…
