The paper develops computer-vision methods to automatically analyze uterine mucosal peristaltic waves from cine-MR image sequences, aiming to provide objective quantitative measurements for use in a larger clinical study. Using optical flow (and also mentioning block matching), the authors report that optical-flow representations are an adequate basis for computing quantitative and qualitative measures of uterine peristalsis. A major limitation stated is that the method is not yet automated for larger sample numbers, with ongoing work focused on scaling the approach. Relevance to endometriosis: the introduction explicitly links endometriosis to female infertility and describes the uterine lining/endometrial function context, though the study’s main focus is algorithmic quantification of uterine peristalsis from cine-MRI rather than endometriosis biology.
