Autoimmune and inflammatory rheumatic diseases (RDs) are more prevalent in women and often affect gynecological health. Particularly, heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) and dysmenorrhea are more common in patients with RD. …
Objectives: This study aimed to systematically compare the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and to evaluate their impact on …
Rectal endometriosis is a complex condition requiring multidisciplinary treatment. Accurate preoperative assessment is critical for selecting the appropriate surgical technique, with transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and endorectal ultrasound (ERUS) being key …
Delays in the diagnosis of endometriosis in sub Saharan Africa persist, driven partly by limited access to advanced imaging techniques. Capacity building initiatives focused on ultrasound offer a practical and …
Background: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) frequently affects the posterior pelvic compartment, where accurate non-invasive imaging is essential for diagnosis and surgical planning. Aim: This systematic review evaluates the diagnostic performance …
Patients with deep endometriosis of the posterior pelvic compartment might present various lower urinary tract symptoms, including urinary retention, without any prior pelvic surgery in their medical history. These symptoms, …
To assess the impact of complex disease states, including pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration and deep endometriosis (DE) of the bowel, on the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) for …
Accurate diagnosis of pathology from ultrasound images is reliant upon images of a suitable diagnostic quality being acquired. This study aimed to create a novel machine learning model to automatically …
Adenomyosis is challenging to diagnose with transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and requires operator expertise to recognize its sonographic features; however, little is known about the learning curve for trainees. This study …
To perform an updated meta-analysis evaluating the diagnostic performance of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) for detecting lateral parametrial involvement in women with suspected deep pelvic endometriosis.
