Recent advancements in specialist ultrasound has improved the detection of deep infiltrating endometriosis, but has ultrasound improved in the detection of adenomyosis ? The performance of ultrasound in the diagnosis of adenomyosis will be discussed as part of an integrated assessment of endometriosis.
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a non-invasive modality with high sensitivity and high specificity for the diagnosis of adenomyosis. This talk will cover the basics of MR sequences that best optimise for the detection and characterisation of adenomyosis. In addition to covering the “classic” MR appearances of adenomyosis, atypical MR manifestations, pitfalls in MR diagnosis and issues surrounding coexistent malignancy will also be discussed.
