Description
MRI and ultrasound are compared through protocol selection and T2-weighted assessment of endometriomas, adhesions, distortion, and deep nodular deposits. Bladder, ureteric, and extra-pelvic involvement, advanced disease mapping, tumour differentiation, and information needed for clinical decisions are covered.
Learning Objectives
- Apply an appropriate MRI protocol for suspected endometriosis.
- Recognise endometriomas, adhesions, anatomical distortion, and deep infiltrating deposits.
- Map urinary and extra-pelvic involvement and distinguish endometriosis from important tumour mimics.
