BackgroundAmniotic sheets, or amniotic shelves, are intrauterine membranes that develop when the amnion and chorion reflect against preexisting uterine synechiae. While amniotic sheets are not associated with fetal malformations, growing ev…

ObjectiveTo develop a pre-percutaneous microwave ablation (PMWA) model combining conventional ultrasound (CUS) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for predicting non-perfused volume ratio (NPVR) ≥ 80% in patients with uterine fibroids.M…

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…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Urinary tract involvement is rare, occurring in approximately 1-2% of cases, with the bladder being the most frequently affected organ…

Diaphragmatic endometriosis (DiaE) is a frequently underdiagnosed manifestation of deep endometriosis (DE), typically occurring in patients with advanced pelvic disease. Accurate preoperative detection remains challenging, as standard lapar…

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…

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease defined by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age as well as a notable proportion of adolescen…

Enhanced myometrial vascularity (EMV) is defined as focal myometrial hypervascularity at the former placental implantation site identified after a recent pregnancy. Spectral Doppler imaging shows characteristic high velocity, low resistance…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and short-term outcomes of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective single-center study included 19 pati…

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…

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is a distinct histological subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer characterized by unique biological behavior and heterogeneous clinicopathological features. In contrast with other epithelial ovarian maligna…

The appendix is involved in a diverse spectrum of inflammatory, infectious, benign, and malignant conditions that extend far beyond acute appendicitis. Although acute appendicitis remains the most common appendiceal emergency, numerous enti…

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…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether pretreatment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters can predict short-term clinical response to dienogest (DNG) in patients with adenomyosis. METHODS: This retrospective study included 78 patients with …

PURPOSE: To evaluate intraobserver and interobserver agreement in the interpretation of subtle MRI findings classified as minimal endometriosis, to assess the impact of the Kappa paradox in low-prevalence compartments, and to compare blinde…

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…

The evaluation of patients with gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is complicated due to the variety of tests available and the large number of potential causes of bleeding. MRI is less commonly used than computed tomography and endoscopy but i…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and short-term efficacy of magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) for adenomyosis-associated dysmenorrhea. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective single-center cohort…

Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in the evaluation of suspected gynecologic malignancies, providing high soft tissue contrast and multiparametric capabilities, including diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic …

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…

BackgroundThis study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a three-dimensional visualization operative planning system (3DVOPS) in ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (US-PMWA) for the treatment of large uterine fibroids.MethodsFro…

The identification of the appendix often presents a diagnostic challenge due to its significant anatomical variability, compounded by the frequency with which appendiceal pathologies manifest as atypical clinical presentations that mimic di…
