Overview
Endometriosis abdominal ultrasound helps in differentiating endometriomas from other cystic abnormalities. The endometrial lesions have increased vascularity and will demonstrate increased Doppler flow. Transvaginal us is more sensitive.
Ultrasound
- Abdominal ultrasound helps in differentiating endometriomas from other cystic abnormalities. The endometrial lesions have increased vascularity and will demonstrate increased Doppler flow.[1]
- Transvaginal ultrasound is useful in the detection of deeply seated endometriosis and rectosigmoid endometriosis. It is more sensitive compared to abdominal ultrasound.[2] Key features of endometrioma are typically unilocular cysts but may be multilocular, containing thin or thick septations.
- Ultrasound may show mural nodules. If these mural nodules are hyperechoic, these have a high predictive value for endometrioma over non-endometrial cancer.
