Benign Uterine Disease: The Added Role of Imaging

Abstract

Benign uterine diseases are very common gynecologic conditions that affect women mostly in reproductive age. Ultrasound examination is the first-line imaging technique, but MRI is more accurate for diagnosis, characterization, and patient management. In this review, we especially highlight the added value of MRI in the diagnosis of benign uterine disease, discuss their imaging characteristics, and describe the therapeutic options and the added value of MRI in the treatment planning.
