Spectrum of MR features in adenomyosis
This paper describes the range of magnetic resonance imaging features observed in adenomyosis.

This paper reviews the spectrum of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features seen in adenomyosis, describing how adenomyosis can appear across different imaging characteristics. It synthesizes published knowledge on MR findings relevant to diagnosing and characterizing adenomyosis and frames these features as a range rather than a single pattern. A key caveat is that, as a narrative/clinical review, it does not provide original patient-level results and may not quantify diagnostic performance across all described feature combinations. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — it focuses on the MR imaging feature spectrum used to characterize adenomyosis.
