Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory condition associated with pelvic pain, subfertility, and reduced quality of life. Advances in enhanced transvaginal ultrasound (eTVUS), including systematic compartment-based scanning protocols and improved operator …
Transvaginal strain elastography (SE) has emerged as a complementary technique to transvaginal ultrasound for deep endometriosis (DE) evaluation by exploiting tissue stiffness between lesions and surrounding structures. However, its clinical …
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is expressed in the fibroinflammatory stroma of endometriosis, but its relationship to conventional imaging visibility is unknown. We evaluated FAP expression in deep endometriosis (DE) and …
Background and Objective: The ultrasound sliding sign dynamically assesses pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration in suspected endometriosis. Transvaginal (TVS) and transrectal (TRS) ultrasound are used in patients with and without …
To describe the anatomical distribution and laterality patterns of ovarian endometriosis (OE) and deep endometriosis (DE) using TVS and the #Enzian classification, and to evaluate the association between lesion location …
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder. Non-invasive imaging markers that predict disease severity and bowel involvement are clinically valuable. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the diagnostic …
Australian endometriosis guidelines recommend transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) as the first-line investigation for endometriosis. Where endometriosis has been surgically treated, there is a risk of recurrent disease and repeat surgery. It …
In women with uterine adenomyosis, bleeding and pain can have a major impact on quality of life. There is clearly widespread demand for effective long-term medical therapies. The objective of …
Endometriosis is a widespread gynecological disorder causing severe pain and infertility, with diagnosis currently relying on slow, costly, and risky laparoscopy. This highlights the critical need for non-invasive imaging diagnostics …
Adenomyosis is increasingly recognized in young women and frequently coexists with endometriosis, suggesting shared pathogenic mechanisms. Delayed recognition of symptoms may contribute to disease progression, while discrepancies between preoperative imaging …
