Axial T1
Axial T2
Fat Sat T1 Axial, Coronal & Sagittal
This protocol can be applied if the patient is having known endometriosis.
If suspecting any other pathological conditions please include GADOLINIUM administered T1
Note:IV buscopan is administered to reduce bowel peristalsis and hence improve image quality.
Gadolinium is not particularly useful in evaluation of endometriomas and does not improve detection of very small implants as small vessels enhance and may be misinterpreted as a small endometriotic deposit . Additionally, enhancement of endometrial deposits is variable post contrast and does not differentiate from other benign or malignant processes.
