Anatomic Distribution of Posterior Deeply Infiltrating Endometriosis on MRI After Vaginal and Rectal Gel Opacification
This study demonstrates MRI's capability in diagnosing and staging posterior deeply infiltrating endometriosis using vaginal and rectal gel opacification.

This 2009 study investigated the anatomic distribution of posterior deeply infiltrating endometriosis using MRI, with vaginal and rectal gel opacification to enhance visualization of pelvic structures. Using an adult female population, the authors assessed where posterior deep lesions were located relative to pelvic anatomy on the opacified MRI images. The key finding was a detailed mapping of lesion distribution patterns in the posterior compartment, characterized by consistent involvement of specific anatomic sites. A major limitation stated by the authors is that MRI interpretation depends on the imaging preparation and lesion detectability, which can influence observed distribution. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically analyzes the anatomic distribution of posterior deeply infiltrating endometriosis on MRI after vaginal and rectal gel opacification.
