This chapter reviews how ultrasound and MRI are used to diagnose uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) and adenomyosis, describing the current role of these imaging modalities. It discusses relevant literature on MRI and ultrasound features associated with adenomyosis and related uterine conditions, including studies linking imaging characteristics to histology. Because the provided text is only the chapter’s bibliographic/abstract-level material rather than detailed results, the chapter’s specific comparative performance metrics and limitations are not available here. This paper is centrally about endometriosis and adenomyosis-related gynecologic imaging—specifically adenomyosis—within a broader review of uterine fibroids and diagnostic imaging approaches.
