Inter-Rater Agreement for Diagnosing Adenomyosis Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Transvaginal Ultrasonography.

Our aim was to compare the inter-rater agreement about transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with regard to diagnosing adenomyosis and for assessing various predefined imaging features of adenomyosis, in the same set of women. The study cohort included 51 women, prospectively, consecutively recruited based on a clinical suspicion of adenomyosis. MRIs and TVS videoclips and 3D volumes were retrospectively assessed by four experienced radiologists and five experienced sonographers, respectively.

Preoperative MR staging of cervical carcinoma: are oblique and contrast-enhanced sequences necessary?

Background: As the choice of treatment in patients with cervical carcinoma depends on cancer stage at diagnosis, accurate staging is essential.

Purpose: To compare three different combinations of magnetic resonance (MR) sequences for preoperative staging.

Material And Methods: Fifty-seven consecutive patients with biopsy proven cervical carcinoma underwent MR imaging (MRI) staging followed by primary surgical treatment.

Impact of MRI in the management and staging of cancer of the uterine cervix.

Background: Cervical carcinoma is the only gynecological tumor still being staged mainly by clinical examination and only a limited use of diagnostic radiology. Cross sectional imaging is increasingly used as an aid in the staging procedure. We wanted to assess the impact of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in addition to the clinical staging of patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix.

Outcome of repair of bilateral groin hernias: a prospective evaluation of 1,487 patients.

Objective: To find out whether simultaneous repair of bilateral hernias increases the risk of recurrence compared with unilateral repair.

Design: Prospective study.

Setting: Swedish hospitals participating in the Swedish Hernia Register (SHR).
