“…Most MRI studies are performed using at least two orthogonal T2W planes [11, 16–18, 31–33, 44, 45, 54–56]. Further studies are required to clarify the field-of-view used for the axial acquisition and which additional T2W MR plane should be used.…”

“…The use of thin section-oblique 2D-T2W imaging improves the success of conventional MRI (sagittal and axial) for assessment of uterosacral and parametrial endometriosis (LE3) [13, 15]. In addition, several authors have recently reported the potential value of 3D-T2W imaging in the evaluation of DPE [16, 54]. In contrast, no studies have demonstrated the value of coronal 2D-T2W MRI sequence in the evaluation of pelvic endometriosis.…”

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition of unknown aetiology that primarily affects women of reproductive age. The accepted first-line imaging modality is pelvic ultrasound. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly performed as an additional investigation in complex cases and for surgical planning. There is currently no international consensus regarding patient preparation, MRI protocols or reporting criteria. Our aim was to develop clinical guidelines for MRI evaluation of pelvic endometriosis based on literature evidence and consensus expert opinion. This work was performed by a group of radiologists from the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR), experts in gynaecological imaging and a gynaecologist expert in methodology. The group discussed indications for MRI, technical requirements, patient preparation, MRI protocols and criteria for the diagnosis of pelvic endometriosis on MRI. The expert panel proposed a final recommendation for each criterion using Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine (OCEBM) 2011 levels of evidence.Key Points• This report provides guidelines for MRI in endometriosis.• Minimal and optimal MRI acquisition protocols are provided.• Recommendations are proposed for patient preparation, best MRI sequences and reporting criteria.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00330-016-4673-z) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…To detect DIE extension into the pelvis, use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12) and transvaginal sonography (TVS) (6,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) have been described. The MRI provides accurate information about lesions located on the upper level of the sigmoid, but for pelvic disease TVS is equally accurate and is considered the first and most widely used diagnostic tool (6,(18)(19)(20).…”

Objective: To assess the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) in defining size and location of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with laparoscopic/histologic confirmation. Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: University hospital. Patient(s): One hundred four women with suspected DIE on the basis of TVS. Intervention(s): Patients with DIE underwent TVS evaluation before laparoscopic surgery. An accurate mapping of the extent of the disease was recorded during TVS and at laparoscopy. This new mapping system was developed to assess the extent of endometriosis by measuring the size and depth of the lesions at the various pelvic locations. Main Outcome Measure(s): Surgical and histologic confirmation of the ultrasonographic data to evaluate the presence and location of DIE and creation of a new mapping methodology for detecting DIE by TVS. Result(s): Depending on the different location of the lesions, the accuracy of TVS ranged from 76%-97%. The lowest sensitivity (59%) and accuracy (76%) were obtained for TVS in the diagnosis of vaginal endometriosis, whereas the greatest accuracy (97%) was shown in detecting bladder lesions and Douglas obliteration. Conclusion(s):This new ultrasound mapping system is accurate for detecting the extent of DIE and may be useful for preoperative planning and intraoperative management of symptomatic patients with DIE.
