Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of reproductive age women and represents a significant cause of pelvic pain and infertility. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of endometriosis is often delayed by years. Endometriosis may manifest as cystic lesions in the ovaries known as endometriomas. Superficial endometriosis is typically detected by laparoscopy along the pelvic peritoneum as these lesions tend to be difficult to detect by imaging. Deep infiltrative endometriosis may be detected by ultrasound, CT or MRI in classic locations within the pelvis, such as the posterior cul-de-sac and uterosacral ligaments. Endometriosis may also involve the thorax, gastrointestinal and urinary tracts, and locations such as the abdominal wall and abdominal organs. We present MRI and CT case examples, together with corresponding laparoscopic and histopathology images to enhance radiologists' understanding of this disease.

子宫内膜异位症百科全书：图片式rad-path评论。

子宫内膜异位症影响大约10％的育龄妇女，是骨盆疼痛和不育的重要原因。不幸的是，子宫内膜异位症的诊断通常要延迟数年。子宫内膜异位可能表现为卵巢内的囊性病变，称为子宫内膜瘤。通常通过腹腔镜检查沿盆腔腹膜检测到浅层子宫内膜异位症，因为这些病变往往难以通过成像进行检测。可以通过超声，CT或MRI在骨盆内经典部位（例如后路盲囊和子宫ac韧带）检测深层浸润性子宫内膜异位症。子宫内膜异位也可能累及胸部，胃肠道和泌尿道以及诸如腹壁和腹腔器官的位置。我们介绍MRI和CT的案例，
