What Are we Missing? Diagnosing Uterine Adenomyosis Using Ultrasound Elastography

Brief Summary

      To improve the clinical care of women with pelvic pain and abnormal uterine bleeding due to
      benign uterine conditions including leiomyomas (uterine fibroids) and adenomyosis by
      evaluating the accuracy of radiology diagnostic exams (MRI(magnetic resonance imaging),
      ultrasound and ultrasound with elastography).

Detailed Description

      Currently benign conditions of the uterus are frequently underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed. This
      project will help determine which diagnostic radiology exams are most helpful to the
      clinician in providing accurate diagnosis. In addition, this study will evaluate which exam
      (MRI vs. Ultrasound) patients prefer over another exam.

Study Phase

Early Phase 1

Study Type

Interventional

Primary Outcome

Diagnostic accuracy of MRI and ultrasound elastography for distinguishing adenomyosis and fibroids

Secondary Outcome

 Patient preference between ultrasound and MRI

Condition

Uterine Bleeding

Intervention

Evaluation of MRI, US for pelvic and uterine conditions

Study Arms / Comparison Groups

 Evaluation of MRI, US for pelvic conditions
Description:  MRI and ultrasound imaging will be used clinically to evaluate pelvic pain and abnormal uterine bleeding. The goal is to determine which exams are most helpful to the clinician in providing an accurate diagnosis as well as evaluating patient preference.
