Transvaginal Ultrasonography for Detection of PID-Related Adhesions: A Case Report.

Diagnosis of acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease continues to be a challenge despite advances in investigative procedures. Complications of PID include infertility, chronic pelvic pain and ectopic pregnancy. Currently, …

Initial Results of FAPI PET/MRI to Assess the Extent of Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder often associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Conventional imaging modalities, such as transvaginal ultrasound and MRI, may underestimate the …

Artificial intelligence potential in ovarian endometriosis imaging: a comparative meta-analysis of transvaginal ultrasound-based AI models and human readers.

Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is widely used for diagnosing ovarian endometriosis but remains limited by significant operator dependency. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound-based artificial intelligence …

Correlations Between Ultrasound Features and Histological Findings in Adenomyosis: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

Adenomyosis is a benign gynecologic condition characterized by ectopic endometrial glands and stroma present within the myometrium. Background/Objectives: The gold standard in diagnosis is the histology of hysterectomy specimens. Due …

A nomogram integrating a novel uterine isthmus ratio (APTUIR), sonographic signs and clinical symptoms for predicting posterior deep endometriosis.

This study aims to propose a novel, reproducible transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) measurement-anterior-posterior wall thickness of the uterine isthmus ratio (APTUIR)-and to construct a nomogram model integrating this parameter with other …

Endometriosis and ovarian cancer: epidemiological evidence, molecular insights, and clinical decision-making.

Endometriosis, particularly ovarian endometrioma, is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of ovarian cancer (OC), especially the clear cell and endometrioid subtypes. However, the absolute lifetime risk of OC in …

What Happens to Endometriomas After Menopause? A Non-Invasive Follow-Up Focusing on Ultrasound Features and Clinical Changes.

To describe the longitudinal ultrasound features and clinical course of ovarian endometriomas in postmenopausal women, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and guide follow-up strategies.

The paradoxical association between endometrioma size and serum anti-Müllerian hormone levels in infertile women.

The impact of endometrioma size on ovarian reserve remains controversial. Although endometriomas are known to reduce anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels, some studies suggest a paradoxical association between larger cysts and …
