Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition of unknown aetiology that primarily affects women reproductive age. The accepted first-line imaging modality pelvic ultrasound. However, magnetic resonance (MRI) increasingly performed as an additional investigation in complex cases and for surgical planning. There currently no international consensus regarding patient preparation, MRI protocols or reporting criteria. Our aim was to develop clinical guidelines evaluation endometriosis based...
Approximately one-quarter of adnexal masses detected at ultrasonography are indeterminate for benignity or malignancy, posing a substantial clinical dilemma.To validate the accuracy 5-point Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting Data System Magnetic Resonance Imaging (O-RADS MRI) score risk stratification masses.This multicenter cohort study was conducted between March 1, 2013, and 31, 2016. Among patients undergoing expectant management, 2-year follow-up data were completed by 2018. A routine pelvic MRI...
An update of the 2010 published ESUR recommendations MRI sonographically indeterminate adnexal mass integrating functional techniques is provided. algorithmic approach using sagittal T2 and a set transaxial T1 T2WI allows categorization masses in one following three types according to its predominant signal characteristics. 'bright' due fat or blood content can be simply effectively determined combination T1W, T2W FST1W imaging. When there concern for solid component within such mass, it...
The aim of the Female Pelvic Imaging Working Group European Society Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) was to develop imaging guidelines for MR work-up in patients with known or suspected uterine leiomyomas.Guidelines leiomyomas were defined based on a survey distributed all members working group, an expert consensus meeting at Congress (ECR) 2017 and critical review literature.The 25 returned questionnaires as well have shown reasonable homogeneity practice among institutions. Expert literature...
Background The MRI Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) enables risk stratification of sonographically indeterminate adnexal lesions, partly based on time-intensity curve (TIC) analysis, which may not be universally available. Purpose To compare the diagnostic accuracy visual assessment with that TIC dynamic contrast-enhanced scans to categorize lesions as benign or malignant evaluate influence O-RADS score. Materials Methods European Adnex MR Study Group, EURAD, database, a...
Abstract Objective To provide up-to-date European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) guidelines for staging and follow-up patients with ovarian cancer (OC). Methods Twenty-one experts, members the female pelvis imaging ESUR subcommittee from 19 institutions, replied to 2 rounds questionnaires regarding techniques structured reporting used pre-treatment evaluation OC patients. The results survey were presented other authors during group’s annual meeting. lexicon was aligned American...
Introduction Double J stent is a common medical device, and it may become encrusted causing significant concern. Understanding the composition associated risk factors for stents crucial appropriate management. Objective: to evaluate types of DJ encrustation by infrared spectroscopy correlate them with patient characteristics computerized tomographic findings. Methods All surgically removed over one-year period underwent analysis encrustations were compared patient’s demographic, clinical,...
This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detection deep myometrial invasion and cervical extension by endometrial carcinoma. prospective included 101 patients with histologically documented carcinoma, between July 1998 April 2004. The findings preoperative pelvic MRI were compared histological diagnosis. From cases studied MRI, 43 classified as (≥50% myometrium), where pathological evaluation confirmed having invasion. Cervical was found 19 cases....
Abstract Objective To develop imaging guidelines for the MR work-up of female genital tract congenital anomalies (FGTCA). Methods These were prepared based on a questionnaire sent to all members European Society Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) Female Pelvic Imaging Working Group (FPI-WG), critical review literature and expert consensus decision. Results The returned questionnaires from 17 different institutions have shown reasonable homogeneity practice. Recommendations with focus patient...
To review the epidemiological and clinical features of primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC), to illustrate spectrum MRI findings, with pathological confirmation.This article reviews relevant literature on epidemiological, clinical, imaging carcinoma, confirmation, using illustrations from authors' teaching files.Primary came under focus over last few years due its possible role pathogenesis high-grade serous epithelial ovarian peritoneal cancers. Typical symptoms, together presence some...
We aimed to evaluate the added value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) standard magnetic resonance (MRI) for detecting post-treatment cervical cancer recurrence. The detection accuracy T2-weighted (T2W) images was compared with that T2W MRI combined either dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) or DWI.Thirty-eight women clinically suspected uterine recurrence more than six months after treatment completion were examined 1.5 Tesla including T2W, DCE, and DWI sequences. Disease confirmed...
