Ultrasound diagnosis of adenomyosis – a blinded validation study of the 2022 MUSA guidelines

Adenomyosis is a common gynecologic condition characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium and can lead to heavy, painful menses. It is also associated with infertility and poor IVF outcomes. The gold standard for diagnosis is histopathologic examination of the uterus which requires hysterectomy. A growing body of evidence suggests that ultrasound can identify adenomyosis. Consensus guidelines describing standardized terms to describe specific features of adenomyosis were published in 2015 by the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) group.
