Magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of endometriosis
Magnetic resonance imaging is a highly accurate, non-invasive method for diagnosing endometriosis, visualizing most endometriotic foci to inform treatment planning and prevent complications.

The paper reviews the role of pelvic magnetic resonance imaging for diagnosing endometriosis, placing it among ultrasound and laparoscopy as instrumental diagnostic methods. It states that MRI has high diagnostic accuracy and can visualize most endometriotic foci, including extraperitoneal lesions, which supports more appropriate treatment planning and helps prevent complications. The main limitation acknowledged is not an empirical one in the provided text but rather the reliance on imaging-based assessment as part of a broader diagnostic approach, alongside other modalities. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on how MRI can diagnose endometriotic lesions (including extraperitoneal foci) in pelvic imaging.
