Pelvic endometriosis imaging is crucial for diagnosis. This review covers ultrasound and MRI for assessing the location and extent of endometriosis.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Pelvic endometriosis commonly affects pelvic organs like ovaries, peritoneum, and ligaments.
  • Clinical diagnosis of endometriosis is challenging, necessitating advanced imaging techniques.
  • Accurate staging of endometriosis is vital for effective patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and compare imaging modalities for pelvic endometriosis.
  • To discuss technical aspects, imaging patterns, and diagnostic performance of ultrasound and MRI.
  • To define the optimal role of ultrasound and MRI in evaluating endometriosis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on imaging in pelvic endometriosis.
  • Analysis of technical considerations for ultrasound and MRI protocols.

  • Evaluation of imaging patterns and diagnostic accuracy reported for each modality.

    • Main Results:

    • Ultrasound and MRI offer distinct advantages in visualizing endometriosis.
    • Specific imaging features help differentiate endometriosis from other pelvic conditions.
    • Both modalities demonstrate significant diagnostic performance, with varying strengths.

    Conclusions:

    • Imaging, particularly ultrasound and MRI, is essential for diagnosing and staging pelvic endometriosis.
    • Understanding the technical nuances and imaging patterns of each modality improves diagnostic yield.
    • Integrated use of ultrasound and MRI can enhance the comprehensive evaluation of endometriosis.
