This paper reviews the diagnostic utility of imaging modalities for endometriosis, defined as the ectopic implantation of endometrial cells outside the uterus causing chronic inflammation. It highlights that while ultrasound is effective for detecting lesions in the ovaries and bladder, magnetic resonance imaging offers superior sensitivity for deep infiltrating disease in the bowel and uterosacral ligaments. The authors provide specific protocols and interpretation frameworks to optimize both ultrasound and MRI techniques, including decisions regarding contrast media use, to facilitate multidisciplinary treatment planning. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on the comparative roles of ultrasound and MRI in diagnosing various anatomical locations of the disease.
