Overview
Brief Summary
-
The main source of data is patients with suspected Endometriosis who are referred to Department of radiodiagnosis at Apollo KH Hospital, Melvisharam and satisfying the inclusion criteria.
-
Informed consent will be taken from all the patients after explaining the study’s purpose. Detailed history including various risk factors and past illness will be taken in each case.
-
All the patients who underwent MRI pelvis and are full filing the inclusion criteria will be taken for USG Pelvis screening.
-
USG images of pelvis obtained using GE VOLUSON S8 PRO Ultrasound machine. Transabdominal ultrasound examination would be done by a radiologist with minimum 5 years of experience with full bladder and patient lying in supine position after good contact gel using a curvilinear probe of frequency 2-7 MHz.
-
Subsequently Transvaginal sonography by using transvaginal probe of frequency 5-10 MHz will be done in these patients after complete evacuation of bladder to confirm the findings and search for additional lesions.
-
MR Non- contrast images of the pelvis is obtained using 1.5 Tesla Siemens Magnetom Essenza tim-dot system with a 8-channel body coil, and an acquisition plane in axial, oblique-coronal and sagittal planes. Imaging sequences includes sag T2, T2 Oblique coronal, T2 STIR oblique coronal, Axial T2, STIR Axial, T1 Axial, T1 FAT SAT Axial, DWI Axial. Slice thickness of 5mm.
-
MR Non- contrast images of the abdomen is obtained using 1.5 Tesla Siemens Magnetom Essenza tim-dot system with an 8-channel body coil, and an acquisition plane in axial, oblique coronal planes. Sequence T2 TRUFI Coronal, DWI Axial. Slice thickness of 5mm.
-
MR images will be interpreted by two different radiologist with minimum 5 years of experience.
