Abstract
Endometriosis is a frequent pathology of adult women. Clinical examination and US are poorly sensitive for detection of deep pelvic implants and MRI is superior for presurgical mapping of disease extent. This is important to optimize complete surgical excision, the only proven treatment to achieve symptomatic relief. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to describe the imaging features of deep pelvic endometriosis and the technical means to optimize its detection.
