Author ' s Accepted Manuscript Pelvic endometriosis : Spectrum of Mr findings

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. It is a common cause of pelvic pain and infertility among reproductive age women. Although laparoscopy remains the reference standard for diagnosis, this invasive procedure provides little information on subperitoneal extent of disease or areas hidden by adhesions. In contrast, MRI provides a comprehensive, noninvasive survey of the pelvis with simultaneous tissue characterization. In this article, we review the spectrum of MR findings in pelvic endometriosis and discuss common complications associated with the disease. Radiologists should be familiar with the spectrum of MR findings of pelvic endometriosis so that they can provide meaningful information that will guide treatment and future laparoscopic examinations.
