Endometriosis is a chronic gynecologic condition affecting women of reproductive age, often leading to pelvic pain and infertility. Diagnosing endometriosis typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation, invasive, and non-invasive techniques, with laparoscopy and histological confirmation being the gold standard. While transvaginal ultrasound (TV-US) is the first-line imaging tool due to its accessibility and cost-effectiveness, MRI serves as a crucial second-line technique. MRI provides a comprehensive assessment of all pelvic compartments in one session, making it the optimal imaging method for preoperative staging. This ensures proper surgical planning and effective multidisciplinary management.
This interactive workshop will combine theory with hands-on clinical case discussions. Participants will explore the essentials of MRI protocols for endometriosis, key imaging features of endometriomas and deep infiltrating endometriosis, and a compartmental approach to staging. Through real-world cases, attendees will learn to interpret findings and refine their diagnostic skills.
