“…9 Solak's group reported the signal changes on SWI of endometriosis in the abdominal wall during different phases of the menstrual cycle, which contributed to the diagnosis. 10 To our knowledge, this is the first report regarding the SWI findings in ovarian torsion.…”

We report findings of magnetic resonance imaging including susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) of the subacute torsion of an ovarian fibrothecoma in a patient with renal dysfunction. Although venous thrombosis within the vascular pedicle mimicked a malignant tumor, showing high signal intensity on T 2 -weighted images and diffusion-weighted imaging, we diagnosed ovarian torsion on SWI without the administration of contrast medium, aided by the prominent susceptibility-induced signal void caused by the thrombosis.

“…In addition, these authors reported that the evaluation of uterine peristalsis is optimal during the peri-ovulatory phase [36]. Solak et al reported no significant difference in size of lesions in the early days of menstruation compared to the mid-menstrual period for abdominal wall endometriosis [37]. Finally, Botterill et al did not observe a significant difference in disease extent between menstruating and non-menstruating scans [38].…”

European society of urogenital radiology (ESUR) guidelines: MR imaging of pelvic endometriosis

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition of unknown aetiology that primarily affects women of reproductive age. The accepted first-line imaging modality is pelvic ultrasound. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly performed as an additional investigation in complex cases and for surgical planning. There is currently no international consensus regarding patient preparation, MRI protocols or reporting criteria. Our aim was to develop clinical guidelines for MRI evaluation of pelvic endometriosis based on literature evidence and consensus expert opinion. This work was performed by a group of radiologists from the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR), experts in gynaecological imaging and a gynaecologist expert in methodology. The group discussed indications for MRI, technical requirements, patient preparation, MRI protocols and criteria for the diagnosis of pelvic endometriosis on MRI. The expert panel proposed a final recommendation for each criterion using Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine (OCEBM) 2011 levels of evidence.Key Points• This report provides guidelines for MRI in endometriosis.• Minimal and optimal MRI acquisition protocols are provided.• Recommendations are proposed for patient preparation, best MRI sequences and reporting criteria.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00330-016-4673-z) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Finally, we lacked information regarding the influence of the menstrual cycle on endometrial cysts in our study. Therefore, future prospective studies using larger patient cohorts which also include ESWAN evaluation of endometriomas during the early and mid-phases of the menstrual cycle [20], are needed to confirm our findings.…”

“…In a study by Solak et al [20], they hypothesized that their SWI findings of punctate or curvilinear signal voids on day 13-15 of the menstrual cycle may be related to hemosiderin-laden macrophages, in a manner similar to the findings of Takeuchi et al for pelvic endometrial cysts [19].…”

“…However, the use of SWI to explore other regions of the body remains limited. Only two studies have applied SWI to endometrial cysts, specifically a study by Takeuchi et al [19] who used signal voids (due to hemosiderin deposition) along the cyst wall to diagnose ovarian endometrial cysts, and Solak et al [20], who studied abdominal wall endometriomas during cyclic menstrual changes.…”
