This doctoral thesis from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam reviews the evolving role of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis and management of endometriosis. It evaluates various MRI techniques to determine their efficacy in detecting deep infiltrating endometriosis, particularly regarding lesions affecting the bowel, bladder, and uterosacral ligaments. The work highlights that while ultrasound remains a first-line tool, MRI provides superior soft-tissue contrast for preoperative planning in complex cases. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on the diagnostic capabilities and clinical applications of MR imaging for identifying deep infiltrating disease.
