Superficial Peritoneal Endometriosis Beyond Surgical Diagnosis: A Narrative Review of Emerging Functional and Molecular Perspectives.

Background and Objectives: Superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SPE) remains one of the most difficult endometriosis phenotypes to diagnose non-invasively, because lesions are frequently small, multifocal, and poorly detectable using conventional imaging. …

Challenging prior assumptions: coexistence of polycystic ovarian morphology and endometriosis on transvaginal ultrasound.

To investigate, using transvaginal ultrasound imaging, the overlap between polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) and endometriosis, and to explore demographic and clinical factors associated with their coexistence across endometriosis phenotypes.

MRI in non-pregnancy-related decidualization of deep pelvic endometriosis: a case report and review of the literature.

Decidual changes in deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE) are extremely rare. During pregnancy, endometriotic activity and symptoms diminish due to hormonal changes, whereas the endometrial lining undergoes decidualization in response to …

Radiomics and Artificial Intelligence in Ovarian Endometriosis Imaging: A Systematic Review and Critical Appraisal of Emerging Evidence.

Ovarian endometriosis is a common manifestation of endometriosis associated with chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Although transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging are central to diagnosis, challenging cases may benefit …

Bowel endometriosis: from pathogenesis to clinical management.

Bowel involvement is a severe manifestation of deep endometriosis that affects approximately 8-12% of women with endometriosis. Bowel endometriosis is most commonly localised in the rectosigmoid colon and frequently coexists …

Reply of the authors: 'Transvaginal ultrasound as a guiding tool in the management for deep endometriosis'.

Transvaginal Ultrasonography for Detection of PID-Related Adhesions: A Case Report.

Diagnosis of acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease continues to be a challenge despite advances in investigative procedures. Complications of PID include infertility, chronic pelvic pain and ectopic pregnancy. Currently, …

Initial Results of FAPI PET/MRI to Assess the Extent of Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder often associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Conventional imaging modalities, such as transvaginal ultrasound and MRI, may underestimate the …

Artificial intelligence potential in ovarian endometriosis imaging: a comparative meta-analysis of transvaginal ultrasound-based AI models and human readers.

Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is widely used for diagnosing ovarian endometriosis but remains limited by significant operator dependency. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound-based artificial intelligence …

Correlations Between Ultrasound Features and Histological Findings in Adenomyosis: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

Adenomyosis is a benign gynecologic condition characterized by ectopic endometrial glands and stroma present within the myometrium. Background/Objectives: The gold standard in diagnosis is the histology of hysterectomy specimens. Due …
