Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate a systematic approach for ultrasound diagnosis of adenomyosis. DESIGN: Stepwise demonstration of the ultrasound features of adenomyosis with narrated video footage. SETTING: In 2015, the International Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment group published a consensus on which terminology to use when describing myometrial lesions seen on ultrasonography [12]. However, 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) ultrasound features of adenomyosis are demonstrated most optimally using video clips. INTERVENTIONS: A systematic description, including pictograms of individual features of adenomyosis, is correlated to the typical findings of adenomyosis in 2D and 3D ultrasound images and video clips. CONCLUSION: A structured, systematic description of individual 2D and 3D ultrasound features is important for a correct diagnosis of adenomyosis [3-5].
