Abstract

Endometriosis is a chronic and recurrent gynecological disorder that affects women of childbearing age; it may be manifested by infertility or chronic pelvic pain. Evaluation of this disease by clinical examination and ultrasound scan is usually of limited value. With the new advances in technology, MRI has proved to be highly helpful in the assessment of endometriosis, both for diagnosis and for evaluation of its extent. This dysfunction may adversely affect the organs of the reproductive system as well as gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems. Given MRI capability of tissue characterization and high contrast resolution, it is recommended as first-line technique in the evaluation of this condition.
