Imaging for Adenomyosis: Making the Diagnosis by Sonography.

OBJECTIVE

To demonstrate a systematic approach for ultrasound diagnosis of adenomyosis.

DESIGN

Stepwise demonstration of the ultrasound features of adenomyosis with narrated video footage.

SETTING

In 2015, the International Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment group published a consensus on which terminology to use when describing myometrial lesions seen on ultrasonography [12]. However, 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) ultrasound features of adenomyosis are demonstrated most optimally using video clips.

INTERVENTIONS: A systematic description, including pictograms of individual features of adenomyosis, is correlated to the typical findings of adenomyosis in 2D and 3D ultrasound images and video clips.

CONCLUSION

A structured, systematic description of individual 2D and 3D ultrasound features is important for a correct diagnosis of adenomyosis [3-5].
