Imaging plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment planning. Both ultrasound (US) and MRI are used to detect disease. We performed a literature review to assess whether one is superior. A total of 33 studies from the 4482 identified in the initial search were found to assess the efficacy of US and/or MRI in detecting pelvic endometriosis. Most studies were performed at centers with extensive experience with endometriosis, using dedicated US and MRI protocols. A wide range of sensitivities and specificities was reported, but overall weighted means of diagnostic statistics between US and MRI were similar. The choice of dedicated US versus MRI in evaluation of endometriosis should therefore be based on the expertise in the region. The data also showed US had better accuracy for identifying depth of wall invasion in bowel wall disease, whereas MRI better visualized pelvic wall and extraperitoneal disease. Routine US and MRI protocols performed worse than dedicated US and MRI protocols, which may account for delays in diagnoses. Clinical and research efforts directed at improving the sensitivity of routine imaging for diagnosing deep endometriosis could improve patient access to appropriate care.","PeriodicalId":55529,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Roentgenology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142211112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are more accurate than B-mode imaging alone and more accessible than MRI as alternatives to liver biopsy. Early detection and monitoring of diffuse liver processes such as steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis play an important role in guiding patient management. The most widely available and validated techniques are attenuation-based QUS techniques and shear-wave elastography techniques that measure shear-wave speed. Other techniques are supported by a growing body of evidence and are increasingly commercialized. This review explains general physical concepts of QUS and ultrasound-based elastography techniques for evaluating chronic liver disease. The first section describes QUS techniques relying on attenuation, backscatter, and speed of sound. The second section discusses ultrasound-based elastography techniques analyzing shear-wave speed, shear-wave dispersion, and shear-wave attenuation. With an emphasis on clinical implementation, each technique's diagnostic performance along with thresholds for various clinical applications are summarized, to provide guidance on analysis and reporting for radiologists. Measurement methods, advantages, and limitations are also discussed. The third section explores developments in quantitative contrast-enhanced and vascular ultrasound that are relevant to chronic liver disease evaluation.","PeriodicalId":55529,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Roentgenology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142211081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
