BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory condition associated with pelvic pain, subfertility, and reduced quality of life. Advances in enhanced transvaginal ultrasound (eTVUS), including systematic compartment-based scanning pro…
OBJECTIVES: The development of valuable artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist with ultrasound diagnosis depends on algorithms developed using high-quality data. This study aimed to test the intra- and interobserver agreement of a pro…
Endometriosis is a common but often underdiagnosed chronic gynaecological disease. Endometriosis mimics other diagnoses both clinically and radiographically, presenting a diagnostic challenge. Endometriosis can be categorised as superficial…
Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women and those assigned female at birth. However, it takes 6.4 years to diagnose using the conventional standard of laparoscopy. Noninvasive imaging enables a timelier diagnosis, reducing diagnostic delay as we…
BACKGROUND: Fluoroscopic hysterosalpingography (HSG) with Lipiodol® is safe and has a therapeutic effect on fertility: transient in endometriosis-related infertility and sustained in unexplained infertility. Ultrasound is replacing fluorosc…
BACKGROUND: Transvaginal hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (HyFoSy) assesses tubal patency in an outpatient setting and without ionising radiation, unlike traditional hysterosalpingography (HSG) under fluoroscopy. Like HSG, HyFoSy may be comp…
Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women, taking 6.4 years to diagnose using conventional laparoscopy. Non-invasive imaging enables timelier diagnosis, reducing diagnostic delay, risk and expense of surgery. This review updates literature explori…
Endometriosis is a complex chronic inflammatory process characterised by the presence of endometrial-like glandular tissue outside the uterine cavity, typically within the pelvic structures. This condition affects up to 10-15 % of women and…
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized endometrial-like tissue present outside of the uterus, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive age women. It is associated with abdomino-pelvic pain, infertility and other n…
Endometriosis. At 130 mm from anal opening is an elongated crescentic upper rectal bowel endometriosis at least 37 mm long, 6 mm deep, fixing the uterine torus on the right to the rectum obliterating the pouch of Douglas.
Posterior compartment endometriosis with obliterated Pouch of Douglas. Extensive T2 dark linear superficial bands with subtle upper rectal thickening correlates to a typical mushroom-shaped lesion on ultrasound.
INTRODUCTION: Surgical excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is complex and associated with morbidity. Diagnostic imaging plays an important role in the preoperative workup. We sought to determine the utility of single sagittal …
INTRODUCTION: Preoperative imaging of patients with endometriosis allows adequate counselling, referral to appropriate centres of expertise and workforce planning. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of simplified thre…
