Abstract
Endometriosis, a chronic condition that often starts in adolescence, can have a significant impact on quality of life due to symptoms of dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain. Although laparoscopy with direct visualization and pathologic correlation is the reference standard for the diagnosis of endometriosis, some authors have called for a greater emphasis on clinical diagnosis – including imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides highly reproducible, large field of view, multiplanar, and multiparametric imaging of pelvic endometriosis and is well tolerated in adolescent patients. As such, pediatric radiologists need to be familiar with the manifestations of endometriosis on MRI and how these findings may differ from those seen in adult populations.
期刊介绍：
Official Journal of the European Society of Pediatric Radiology, the Society for Pediatric Radiology and the Asian and Oceanic Society for Pediatric Radiology
Pediatric Radiology informs its readers of new findings and progress in all areas of pediatric imaging and in related fields. This is achieved by a blend of original papers, complemented by reviews that set out the present state of knowledge in a particular area of the specialty or summarize specific topics in which discussion has led to clear conclusions. Advances in technology, methodology, apparatus and auxiliary equipment are presented, and modifications of standard techniques are described.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
