This is an extremely important test, alone or in combination with transvaginal ultrasound. Magnetic resonance imaging offers high-definition images without the risk of radiation. It is important that the MRI is interpreted by someone experienced in the imaging diagnosis of endometriosis. Although in many cases, transvaginal ultrasound is as good as magnetic resonance imaging, in certain locations of endometriosis, magnetic resonance imaging is advantageous. Such could be cases of deep endometriosis of the bowel as well as the diaphragm.
If you have already had an MRI, we will ask you to bring the electronic file of the examination with you, so that we can see together, in detail, the extent of the endometriosis. For international patients, it is also OK to send us the images via e-mail.
Dr. Grigoriadis has extensive experience in interpreting MRI scans for endometriosis. We will explain your MRI findings and, based on these findings and your wishes and symptoms, we will work together to develop a personalized treatment plan for you.
