Overview
MRI is useful for the assessment of the anatomical locations and severity of the disease. The typical appearance of endometriosis includes a characteristic hyperintensity on T1-weighted images and a hypointensity on T2-weighted images.
MRI
- MRI is the best diagnostic tool to assess the locations of the endometrial lesions and to assess the severity of the disease.[1]
- The typical appearance of endometrial lesions is a characteristic hyperintensity on T1-weighted images and a hypointensity on T2-weighted images.
