Adenomyosis | Radiology Reference Article - Radiopaedia. org Pelvic ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for evaluating menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea, but its diagnostic accuracy for adenomyosis is variable, depending on operator expertise and technique Transabdominal ultrasound has a reported sensitivity of 32-63% and specificity of 95-97%
Adenomyosis: What the sonographer needs to know - BMUS Ultrasound is the first line imaging modality for adenomyosis Technological advances within ultrasound have led to an increase in diagnosis compared with the formerly invasive diagnosis based on histopathology
Ultrasound in Obstetrics Gynecology - Obstetrics and Gynecology For example, it should be possible to report focal adenomyosis in the anterior wall and diffuse adenomyosis in the posterior wall, using the definition of focal disease outlined above A second slight adjustment is the specification of the myometrial layer involved
Adenomyosis: An Updated Review on Diagnosis and Classification Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) are reported to have similar sensitivities and specificities in the detection of adenomyosis, and have increasingly been used to identify the presence of adenomyotic lesions, and to plan subsequent treatment [3]
Ultrasound Manifestation and Classification of Adenomyosis Therefore, the asymmetric thickening of the anterior and posterior uterine muscle layers is a common ultrasound manifestation of diffuse adenomyosis, and the posterior uterine wall and uterine fundal thickening are the most common (Fig 8 5)
Adenomyosis: A Sonographic Diagnosis | RadioGraphics Transvaginal US is now considered the primary imaging modality for the diagnosis of adenomyosis, and thus radiologists should be familiar with its sonographic appearance
Adenomyosis - Radiology Key Although transvaginal sonography is typically the first screening modality in a woman with pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding, the consensus is that MRI is significantly better than ultrasound (US) in the diagnosis of adenomyosis
