Description du livre
This book presents integrated learning to diagnose endometriosis, combining all imaging modalities such as transvaginal ultrasonography, MRI, and laparoscopy. The different forms of endometriosis are detailed with a systematic compartmental analysis focusing on radiosurgical correlation and the impact of imaging for predicting surgical findings.
The chapters on superficial and adnexal endometriosis include typical and atypical findings. Deep pelvic endometriosis is detailed, with descriptions of central deep pelvic locations splitted into dedicated chapters for: anterior (bladder and round ligament), middle (torus, uterosacral ligament posterior vaginal pouch, adenomyosis), and posterior (rectosigmoid). Lateral localisations are described, as well as parietal fascia (including nervous localisation) and pelvic and extrapelvic locations, including diaphragmatic, thoracic, and abdominal wall location.
Finally, this book explains how to perform the different imaging techniques and how to report ultrasonography, MRI, and laparoscopic surgery when exploring endometriosis. The descriptions provided in the book are based on international consensus (IDEA, dPEI, #Enzian score, …). The text is richly supported by radiological and surgical images.
