Does size matter? Expectations and limitations in imaging diagnosis of deep endometriosis?

Postoperative and long-term outcomes of nerve-sparing segmental rectal resection and complete nodular resection of rectal endometriosis.

Rectal endometriosis is a severe form of deep endometriosis affecting up to 12% of patients, causing significant pain and bowel dysfunction. The optimal surgical approach can be individually tailored based …

TongueNet-GYN: a multimodal deep learning framework for non-invasive gynecological disease screening in digital public health.

Gynecological diseases, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis, are prevalent global health concerns. Conventional diagnostics often rely on invasive procedures or costly imaging, limiting accessibility in resource-constrained settings. …

From Hope to Infection: Tubo-Ovarian Abscess After Frozen Embryo Transfer-A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Tubo-ovarian abscess is a rare but serious complication of assisted reproductive technologies, typically following oocyte retrieval. We report a case of a 41-year-old woman with endometriosis who developed a tubo-ovarian …

Path beyond the blind end-unravel the imaging spectrum of appendiceal pathologies.

The appendix is involved in a diverse spectrum of inflammatory, infectious, benign, and malignant conditions that extend far beyond acute appendicitis. Although acute appendicitis remains the most common appendiceal emergency, …

Diffusion tensor imaging of the pelvic floor muscles and pelvic organs: a systematic review.

This paper provides a systematic review of the current applications of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in the imaging of pelvic floor-related anatomical structures and the assessment of microscopic pathological changes.

Quantitative analysis of collagen architecture in the human uterotubal junction (UTJ) using optical coherence tomography imaging (OCT).

Abnormal uterotubal junction (UTJ) structure is implicated in the pathogenesis of endometriosis and infertility; however, this relationship remains poorly characterized. We quantitatively characterized the orientation of collagen fiber bundles in …

Bladder endometriosis (BE) represents a rare yet clinically significant manifestation of deep infiltrating endometriosis. It is frequently underdiagnosed owing to nonspecific urinary symptoms and the coexistence of other urological or …

Emerging Pathways to Non-Invasive Diagnosis in Endometriosis: Integrating Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Multi-Omics Biomarkers.

Endometriosis is a chronic, debilitating condition affecting approximately 10-15% of reproductive-aged women and it is often associated with significant diagnostic delays due to its heterogeneity and unreliable non-invasive tests. Artificial …

Epidemiology, Risk Factors, Diagnosis, and Comorbidities of Endometriosis: An Umbrella Review.
