Benign Disorder Of The Female Reproductive Tract

ANSWERS

For the initial evaluation of benign diseases of the female genital tract, endovaginal sonography (EVS) remains the procedure of choice. When EVS findings are inconclusive, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically used for further evaluation due to its excellent soft-tissue differentiation, multiplanar capabilities, and lack of ionizing radiation. Thus, MRI is well suited for imaging women of reproductive age, especially during pregnancy. As a result, the technique has gained popularity in pelvimetry and, more recently, as an adjunct to sonography for fetal imaging. Pre-operative MRI is used to characterize adnexal masses and as a problem-solving tool in benign uterine disease (for example, uterine malformations), adenomyosis and to select appropriate candidates for therapies such as myomectomy and uterine embolization. The role of computed tomography (CT) in evaluating benign female pelvic disease is limited. It is typically used in an emergency, such as an acute abdomen caused by ovarian torsion or pelvic inflammatory disease.
