Diagnostik der Adenomyosis uteri – Magnetresonanztomographie (MRI) oder Transvaginalsonographie (TVS)?
This study compared the diagnostic capabilities of high-resolution transvaginal sonography (TVS) against MRI for detecting adenomyosis, a condition frequently co-occurring with endometriosis.

The paper studied how well high-resolution transvaginal sonography (TVS) can detect uterine adenomyosis compared with T2-weighted MRI in 25 women with laparoscopically confirmed endometriosis, using uterine anterior/posterior wall thickness and disruption of the subendometrial unit (“HALO”) as main criteria. Adenomyosis prevalence among the endometriosis patients was 80% (20/25), with MRI and TVS agreeing in 17 of 20 cases (85%), including findings of diffuse (47%) and focal (53%) disease; in 3 cases (15%) TVS suggested adenomyosis when MRI was not unequivocally positive, and in 5 cases (100%) neither modality detected adenomyosis. The authors concluded that in experienced hands TVS can replace MRI for routine detection, while MRI remains superior for reproducibility, and the main explicit caveat is that MRI’s advantage does not negate practical limitations for daily use. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis detection in the context of endometriosis — it directly compares MRI versus TVS in women with laparoscopically proven endometriosis.
