This book provides a comprehensive comparative guide for diagnosing endometriosis by integrating findings from transvaginal ultrasonography, MRI, and laparoscopy. It systematically details the imaging characteristics of superficial, adnexal, and deep pelvic lesions, including specific chapters on adenomyosis and various anatomical locations such as the bladder, rectosigmoid, and diaphragm. The text relies on international consensus guidelines like IDEA and #Enzian to correlate radiological features with surgical outcomes, aiming to support clinicians in accurate reporting and preoperative planning. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically serving as an educational resource for correlating imaging modalities with surgical findings across all major disease locations.

Overview - A unique book with correlation between TVUS, MRI and surgery per endometriosis location - Supports radiologist in reporting imaging on endometriosis - Provides the latest evidence based guidelines Access this book Tax calculation will be finalised at checkout Other ways to access About this book This book presents integrated learning to diagnose endometriosis, combining all imaging modalities such as transvaginal ultrasonography, MRI, and laparoscopy. The different forms of endometriosis are detailed with a systematic compartmental analysis focusing on radiosurgical correlation and the impact of imaging for predicting surgical findings. The chapters on superficial and adnexal endometriosis include typical and atypical findings. Deep pelvic endometriosis is detailed, with descriptions of central deep pelvic locations splitted into dedicated chapters for: anterior (bladder and round ligament), middle (torus, uterosacral ligament posterior vaginal pouch, adenomyosis), and posterior (rectosigmoid). Lateral localisations are described, as well as parietal fascia (including nervous localisation) and pelvic and extrapelvic locations, including diaphragmatic, thoracic, and abdominal wall location. Finally, this book explains how to perform the different imaging techniques and how to report ultrasonography, MRI, and laparoscopic surgery when exploring endometriosis. The descriptions provided in the book are based on international consensus (IDEA, dPEI, #Enzian score, …). The text is richly supported by radiological and surgical images.
