This paper is a narrative review describing how endometriosis, defined by endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus and myometrium, can be evaluated using imaging. It outlines high-level roles and limitations of ultrasonography—particularly transvaginal ultrasonography—noting that ultrasound has a limited field of view and results depend on the practitioner, while laparoscopy is presented as the standard method for diagnosis and staging in view of these constraints. The review also states that magnetic resonance imaging has high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing the disease and discusses clinical, pathological, and imaging features in detail. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — imaging features and the diagnostic performance/limitations of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging.

Abstract

Endometriosis is defined as presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus and myometrium. Symptoms are variable and it can cause infertility. Ultrasonography (US), especially transvaginal ultrasonography is the first line imaging method for the evaluation of the disease; however it has some limitations. US has limited field of view and it depends on practitioner. Because of these limitations, laparoscopy is the standart method for the diagnosis and staging. Magnetic resonance imaging has high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of the disease. In this review, the clinical, pathological and imaging features of endometrosis are discussed.
