Endometriosis impacts millions of women globally, making precise assessment essential for effective surgical planning and clinical management. Despite advances in transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagn…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the utility of the #Enzian classification in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for endometriosis assessment, focusing on inter-reader agreement, diagnostic accuracy, and the correlation of adenomyosis…

Accessory cavitated uterine mass (ACUM) is a rare form of developmental mullerian anomaly which causes chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and infertility in young females. It is a non-communicating, accessory cavity within an otherwise norma…

Pregnancy is a remarkable time of pronounced growth and development of the fetus. Benign pathologies outside of the uterus, including those containing hormonally responsive tissue which undergo physiologic changes and other incidentally ide…

Adnexal masses during pregnancy are a relatively uncommon entity. Their clinical management is challenging given the overlapping features of certain entities on imaging and histopathology, which can mimic malignancy, and the potential side …

PET/MRI is a relatively new imaging modality with several advantages over PET/CT that promise to improve imaging of the abdomen and pelvis for specific diagnostic tasks by combining the superior soft tissue characterization of MRI with the …

Adenomyomatosis and cholesterolosis of the gallbladder, collectively termed hyperplastic cholecystosis, are commonly encountered incidental findings on imaging studies performed for a variety of indications including biliary colic or nonspe…

Polypoid endometriosis is a benign, rare variant of endometriosis that forms polypoid nodules mimicking malignant tumors. For three cases of polypoid endometriosis of female genital organs, this report presents characteristic MR imaging fea…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of refractive edge shadow in evaluation of ovarian dermoids compared to other benign adnexal masses. METHODS: Ultrasound images of 139 patients with 154 dermoids, endometriomas, and hemorrh…

PURPOSE: To compare the performance of 3D MRU based on a breath-hold gradient- and spin-echo (BH-GRASE) technique with conventional 3D respiratory-triggered FSE (RT-FSE) sequence in patients with urinary tract dilation. METHODS: We prospec…

PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility of whole-tumor apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis for improving the differentiation of endometriosis-related tumors: seromucinous borderline tumor (SMBT), clear cell carcinoma (CC…

PURPOSE: Uterine fibroids are benign gynecologic tumors and commonly occur in women by the age of 50. Women with symptomatic uterine fibroids generally receive surgical intervention, while they do not favor the invasive therapies. To evalua…

Uterine leiomyomas are the most common gynecological and pelvic neoplasm, reported in up to 80 percent of women by age 50. While the majority are asymptomatic, uterine leiomyomas, depending on size, number, and location can result in bulk s…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of percutaneous image-guided cryoablation of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of percutaneous cryoablation (CT or MR) of AWE was performed fro…

Radiologists in training draw from their early experiences in residency when choosing a fellowship. Once they have decided on an abdominal imaging fellowship, applicants must learn to navigate the interview process. During this challenging …

PURPOSE: To compare the diagnostic performance of biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) versus multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for the staging of well-differentiated endometrioid endometrial cancer (EC) in potential candidates for fer…

PURPOSE: To compare the performance of imaging interpretation, intra- and inter-reader agreement between an abbreviated (aMRI) and full (fMRI) MRI protocol for diagnosis of pelvic endometriosis. METHODS: Seventy consecutive fMRI exams perf…

In the management of several abdominal disorders, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the potential to significantly improve patient's outcome due to its diagnostic accuracy leading to more appropriate treatment choice. However, its clinic…

PURPOSE: MRI plays an important role in the diagnosis and surgical planning of pelvic endometriosis (PE), and imaging reports should contain all relevant information (completeness). As structured reports are being increasingly utilized, we …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to investigate the efficiency of susceptibility-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (SWIs) in differentiating endometriomas from haemorrhagic ovarian cysts. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between July 2017…

PURPOSE: MRI is the current imaging gold standard to diagnose adenomyosis, but access is often limited by high costs and availability. Transvaginal ultrasound provides a cost-effective, accurate and readily available alternative. The object…

PURPOSE: To improve the diagnosis and identification of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (EC), we evaluated CT imaging findings and cut-off values for CEA and CA125. METHODS: The CT features and tumour …
