Grading Sonographic Severity of Adenomyosis: A Pilot Study Assessing Feasibility and Interobserver Reliability.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The reported prevalence of adenomyosis ranges widely due to different study populations, diagnostic tests and criteria. Categorizing the severity of disease may prove important. This study aims to develop a semi-quantifiable sonographic method to grade the severity of adenomyosis and assess the feasibility and interobserver reliability of this method.

Methods

Cross-sectional pilot study performed at a gynecology outpatient clinic, included 35 premenopausal women with adenomyosis, not taking hormonal medication. Diagnosis required ≥1 direct sonographic feature of adenomyosis. Two-dimensional (2D) grayscale video clips and 3-dimensional (3D) volumes of the uterus of the first 5 patients were evaluated using 6 offline methods to assess feasibility. Feasible methods w
