[Classification of Uterine Adenomyosis: A Pictorial Essay]
This pictorial essay reviews how MRI findings and phenotypes are used to classify uterine adenomyosis, aiding in precise presurgical diagnosis and treatment.

This pictorial essay reviews the magnetic resonance imaging characteristics and classification of uterine adenomyosis, a benign gynecological condition characterized by ectopic endometrial tissue within the myometrium. The authors detail specific MRI findings, including direct signs like microcysts and indirect signs such as junctional zone thickening, while distinguishing adenomyosis from mimics like leiomyomas, deep infiltrating endometriosis, and malignancies. Various morphological subtypes are described, ranging from diffuse forms to focal adenomyomas and cystic variants, alongside emerging multiparametric MRI protocols that aid in differentiating these complex presentations. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — specifically providing a comprehensive radiological classification system based on MRI phenotypes to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
