OBJECTIVE: The challenges of imaging posterior deeply infiltrating endometriosis with MRI are to image a small anatomic area encompassing several thin fibromuscular anatomic structures such as uterosacral ligaments, and the vaginal and rect…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the clinical findings and transvaginal ultrasound features of posterior cul-de-sac endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective search of cases over a 13-year period was performe…

Scar Endometrioma: Too Unusual to Be Remembered?Giampiero FrancicaAudio Available | Share

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is defined as tissue resembling the endometrium occurring outside the uterus. The purpose of this article is to familiarize the radiologist with the wide spectrum of pelvic endometriosis and to review the distinctiv…

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the feasibility of a prototype hybrid radiography/MRI system in evaluating infertility patients. Pelvic MRI was followed by hysterosalpingography (HSG) without moving the patient. This system allowed evaluation of tu…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to define the role of double-contrast barium enema (DCBE) compared with laparoscopy in the diagnosis and local staging of intestinal endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A search of our radiology da…

OBJECTIVE: The workup of endometrial abnormalities can be a confusing task for radiologists because one must take into account the patient's clinical history, imaging findings, and a wide array of diagnostic options. We present two cases, o…

OBJECTIVE: Susceptibility-weighted MRI combines magnitude and phase information from fully velocity-compensated gradient-echo sequences and depicts as signal voids the susceptibility effects caused by local inhomogeneity of the magnetic fie…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was to evaluate clinical findings and sonographic features of abdominal wall endometriosis and also to report its CT and MR appearance. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A computerized search of our institution's d…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this pictorial essay is to review the differential considerations when an adnexal mass is detected on CT or MRI in a patient with a primary nonovarian malignancy. CONCLUSION: Such adnexal masses may be metastases …

OBJECTIVE: Controversy exists regarding the effectiveness of uterine artery embolization (UAE) in the management of symptomatic adenomyosis. The aim our study was to determine the long-term clinical efficacy of UAE in the management of symp…

OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to describe the MRI features of patients with pure or dominant adenomyosis treated with uterine artery embolization (UAE) and to correlate imaging features with symptoms. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Nineteen patients…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to compare T2-weighted and contrast-enhanced dynamic T1-weighted images with histologic findings in assessing the depth of myometrial invasion by endometrial carcinoma in adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHO…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the MRI features seen after uterine artery embolization and to evaluate the clinical response in patients with adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty women with adenomyosis underwen…

OBJECTIVE: We compared two rapid MR imaging T2-weighted pulse sequences with high-resolution turbo spin-echo for the diagnosis of adenomyosis, and we evaluated interobserver variability. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Fifty-six consecutive patients…

OBJECTIVE: Kidney donation is associated with ligation of the ovarian vein and is comparable to ovarian vein embolization. We evaluated the incidence, morbidity, and clinical outcome of ovarian varices in healthy female kidney donors before…

OBJECTIVE: We assessed whether specific sonographic characteristics are indicative of the extent of adenomyosis and whether fibroids alter this assessment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients' records were evaluated for the diagnosis of adenom…
