This paper reviews diagnostic imaging capabilities for deep infiltrating endometriosis and presents five clinical cases diagnosed via transvaginal ultrasonography with bowel preparation and intravaginal gel.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

The Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue out of the uterine cavity. Three different types exist of endometriosis: peritoneal, ovary and infiltrating deep (DIE), the latter is characterized for presenting endometriotic lesions that spread more than 5 mm of depth below the peritoneum. The motive of the following publication is to announce the different diagnostic capacities up to the date known about the different technologies of images and in addition to present 5 DIE’S clinical cases, which diagnosis was possible by transvaginal ultrasonography with bowel preparation and intravaginal ultrasound gel. Both technologies of images more used for DIE’S diagnosis are the magnetic Resonance (RM) and the Transvaginal Ultrasonography.
