Article Synopsis
- Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a complex issue in women's health, with various causes and presentations that require a comprehensive diagnostic approach.
- The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics categorizes AUB into structural (like polyps and malignancies) and non-structural causes, helping clinicians determine the best course of action.
- Ultrasound is the primary imaging method for diagnosing AUB, while CT and MRI can provide further insights in unclear cases or emergencies, and the review highlights both common and rare AUB cases treatable through interventional radiology.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an effective technique for the diagnosis and preoperative staging of deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE). The usefulness of MRI sequences susceptible to chronic blood degradation products, such as T2*-weighted imaging, remains uncertain. The present study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of these sequences in addition to the conventional protocol for DIE assessment.
