This retrospective study evaluated 136 women with endometriosis whose pre-operative management plans were discussed in an MRI-based multidisciplinary conference using a standardized tri-compartment imaging template reviewed by an abdominal radiologist and a gynecologic surgeon. The investigators identified whether conference-based MRI review led to management changes compared with what clinicians already had from the pre-conference dictated report, classifying changes as major (affecting the surgical procedure/approach) or minor (affecting medical management, therapies, or diagnostic evaluation). Management changes occurred in 18.4% of cases, with major changes in 8.1% and minor changes in 13.2%, noting that four patients had both major and minor changes. The paper’s explicit limitation is its retrospective design, and the finding reflects the specific workflow of an image-based multidisciplinary conference rather than MRI performance in isolation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it quantifies how pre-operative MRI reviewed in a multidisciplinary setting changed surgical and related management for women with endometriosis.
