MRI classification of uterosacral ligament involvement in endometriosis: the H ôtel-Dieu (HTD) classification

CONCLUSIONS: In women with endometriosis symptoms, our MRI classification identified two USL categories, corresponding to two kinds of PPV; in these symptomatic patients, a normal MRI does not rule out a DIE diagnosis.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Our MRI classification of USL involvement in endometriosis may be used as a noninvasive staging of the disease, much clearer for clinicians and patients. Hence, we are able to propose a suitable diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for each radiological type.PMID:38579251 | DOI:10.1093/bjr/tqae072
