“…The reliability, validity and safety of ultrasound imaging as a means of assessment of abdominal muscle thickness, for example in order to evaluate muscle activity, has been borne out by several past clinical studies [21][22][23][24]. Moreover, the ultrasound imaging is still the part of the "gold standard" in the gynaecological imaging options [25].…”

“…The first line would be an ultrasound examination with high sensitivity and specificity. In addition to ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging has been used recently (1). It is a complementary imaging method, especially for the detection of cancers, pelvic endometriosis, pelvic floor disorders, indeterminate pelvic mass, and fibromas.…”

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a practical and reliable imaging method to evaluate the cervical canal, uterine isthmus, uterine cavity, and fallopian tubes. Using HSG, opaque pathologies outside of contrast media can be detected as well as pathologies of uterus and fallopian tubes. We aim to present and categorize some uncommon and interesting abnormal findings that are located outside of the contrast areas in HSG. This is a pictorial review that depicts various types of HSG images that include opaque pathologies outside of the contrast areas. Images have been extracted from valuable archives collected over 50 yr by professor Shahrzad. A plain pelvic film contains soft tissues of the pelvis, bony structures, artifacts, or foreign bodies. Categorization might easily help the radiologist to interpret the HSG cliché. Opaque pathologies outside of contrast area in HSG can be categorized into 2 groups: “Pelvic Tissue Related” and “Foreign Bodies”. Pelvic tissue abnormalities might have a gynecologic or nongynecologic source. Foreign bodies can be located in the pelvis or outside of the body. HSG is a reliable and inexpensive procedure. Familiarity with the pathologies of pelvic tissues and the accurate interpretation of HSG images are important. Key words: Hysterosalpingography, Opaque, Abnormalities, Uterine, Fallopian tubes.

Background 68Ga-labled fibroblast activating protein inhibitor (68Ga-FAPI) represents a new and exciting positron emission tomography-computed tomography/magnetic resonance (PET-CT/MR) radiotracer. Purpose To compare the diagnostic efficacy of 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT in metastatic lesions of gynecological cancers (GCs). Material and Methods The PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were thoroughly investigated from inception until 22 December 2023. A head-to-head contrast between 18F-FDG PET/CT as well as 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR for the assessment of GCs was presented by the included studies. A random variable model was employed to examine the sensitivity in detection of lymph node (LN) and peritoneal metastases (PM). Results The pooled sensitivity for 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR and 18F-FDG PET/CT in lymph node metastases (LNM) of GC were 0.98 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.86–1) and 0.85 (95% CI = 0.65–0.98), respectively, while the results about peritoneal metastases in ovarian cancer were 0.98 (95% CI = 0.93–1) and 0.71 (95% CI = 0.55–0.86). Compared with 18F-FDG PET/CT, 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR exhibited a better sensitivity in peritoneal involvement of ovarian cancer with a relative risk of 0.24 (95% CI = 0.09–0.40) and P = 0.002. Conclusion 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR displayed a superior sensitivity over 18F-FDG PET/CT in detecting metastatic lesions of ovarian cancer. However, there was insufficient evidence to favor the superiority of 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR in LNM of CC. Further studies are needed for evaluating primary and metastatic lesions of 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR in different GC.
