This chapter surveys evidence on imaging of endometriosis, emphasizing MRI and CT findings and their correlation with anatomy and pathology, and includes diagnostic performance considerations across modalities for different manifestations (e.g., ovarian endometriomas, deep infiltrating endometriosis, and bladder involvement). It compiles prior studies and reference experience on laparoscopic appearance, symptom location relationships, and radiologic-pathologic correlation, but the text provided does not describe original study methods or results for a single cohort. The chapter also reflects that some topics are supported mainly by small series or case reports in the references, which can limit generalizability. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — a chapter compiling MRI/CT imaging approaches and diagnostic evidence for detecting and characterizing endometriosis.
