Bazo t et al. 200 3 (124 ) Prospectiv e interobserver variability study To evaluate, in addition to turbo spin-echo (TSE) T2W sequences , the accuracy of breathhold fast sequences using turbo inversion recovery and true fast imaging with steadystate free precessio n (FISP) for the diagnosis of adenomy osis, and 56 patients who underwen t hysterecto my Univer sity Hospit al (Franc e) Women that underwent MRI with TSE T2W, turbo inversion recovery and true FISP sequences. Patients undergoing hysterectomy due to menorrhagia, postmenopausal bleeding, adnexal masses, genital prolapse and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia Patients not undergoing hysterectomy , cases involving MRI without turbo spinecho T2W, turbo inversion recovery and true FISP sequences JZ > 12 mm or an ill-defined LSI area of myometrium or punctate HSI myometrial foci. Manufacturer : Siemens Magnetom Vision System: 1.5T Slice Thickness: 5mm Sequences: T2W TSE JZ thickness, uterine location and size, cavities in myometrium, presence of punctate HSI myometrial foci (on T2) Macroscopic: Enlarged uterus and a dense anarchically fasciculated unlimited myometrium with small cavities (510mm) Microscopic: Presence of ectopic endometrial tissue in the myometrium located 2.5 mm beyond the endometrial– myometrial junction
