Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis results from the invasion of the basal endometrium into the myometrium, appearing on MRI as a hypodense, widened junctional zone.

This paper/chapter describes adenomyosis as a disease caused by invasion of basal endometrium into the surrounding myometrium, framing it as an “archimetra” condition composed of endometrium and the subendometrial archimyometrium (junctional zone). It reports that on MRI, adenomyosis appears as a hypodense, thickened junctional zone, particularly on the posterior uterine wall. It also states supporting histologic/diagnostic context via prior references, but it does not present new empirical data or specify a study population, methods, or results of its own. This paper is centrally about endometriosis and/or adenomyosis — it focuses on adenomyosis’ definition and MRI appearance.
