“…Enhancement is heterogeneous but prominent because of high vascularity, as well as diffusion restriction due to high celullarity. Some of these features are useful to differentiate leiomyomas with different grades of degeneration from ESS [13]. Imaging differential diagnosis…”

“…MR imaging is a noninvasive and nonionizing radiation imaging modality with high spatial resolution and excellent tissue identification through multi-parameter sequences. The broad field of view and multiplanar imaging allow MR imaging to survey the whole pelvis, which can facilitate the evaluation of lesion extension (8)(9)(10). In present pictorial review, we will exhibit DIE at different anatomic sites with surgical correlation.…”

In this pictorial review, MR imaging findings of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) are illustrated together with surgical correlation. DIE can appear as irregular nodules or plaques with similar signal intensity to muscle on both T1-weighted and T2-weighted images. Hemorrhage foci and strands or stellate margins are also often noted. Restriction of diffusion can be seen on diffusion-weighted image. Fibrosis and adhesions often result in morphologic changes, such as alimentary tract tortuosity, irregular or nodular thickening of uterosacral ligaments, and partial or complete obliteration of the pouch of Douglas. After intravenous gadolinium contrast agent administration, homo- or heterogeneous mild to moderate enhancement can be observed. MR imaging can depict endometriosis lesions and extension of DIE at different anatomic locations, which is well consistent with surgical findings. Combining signal and morphological abnormalities, MR imaging can diagnose and assess the extension of DIE with high accuracy. MR imaging findings of DIE facilitate surgeons at treatment decision making and patient communication.
