Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
This chapter discusses pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and references various imaging modalities and diagnostic techniques, including laparoscopy, ultrasound, CT, and MRI, for its evaluation and management.

This chapter provides an overview of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and the diagnostic imaging approaches used to evaluate suspected acute PID and related tubo-ovarian infections, drawing on studies that compare laparoscopy with clinical tests and evaluate transvaginal ultrasound, Doppler, CT, and MRI findings. It reports that imaging features such as sonographic demonstration of salpingitis and dilated fallopian tubes, Doppler changes, and CT/MR/MRI appearances of tubo-ovarian abscesses can be correlated with laparoscopic or proven diagnoses, while noting potential diagnostic confusion (e.g., salpingitis vs appendicitis) and limits of specific test modalities. A stated caveat across the cited literature is the variability in diagnostic accuracy and the dependence on correlation with reference standards rather than imaging alone. Relevance to endometriosis: endometriosis is not explicitly discussed in the provided text of this PID imaging chapter; it was included in the corpus via keyword match in the upstream search index.
