Endometriosis on MRI Expert Case Review

Challenge yourself with our Endometriosis Case Review from Dr. Kristine Burk!

Course materials were developed from Dr. Burk’s Case Review Live webinar in June 2020. The recorded session has been converted into this on-demand, microlearning Radiology CME Course that you can work through on your own time!

While laparoscopy is the gold standard for an endometriosis diagnosis, MRI is increasingly being used for diagnosis and pre-surgical planning.

Join Dr. Kristine Burk (Harvard Medical School & Brigham and Women’s Hospital) as she walks you through an overview of protocol and normal anatomy of the female pelvis and her approach to 9 high-yield MRI cases of endometriosis.

Listen to Dr Burk’s interpretation across multiple MRI sequences and how she arrives at her report conclusions for diagnosing endometriosis in the uterus, ovaries, and pelvic peritoneum. Sequences covered include: axial, coronal, and sagittal T2-fat suppressed, axial and sagittal T1 pre-contrast image with fat saturation, DWI and ADC images, post contrast enhanced images done in sagittal plane, and delayed post-contrast images in axial and coronal planes.

Case Review Overview

Expert Case Reviews offer a high yield, case-focused learning module that will help you gain confidence interpreting advanced imaging cases. 

Read alongside Radiology mentors who want to help you fine-tune your search patterns and work through your list of differential diagnoses.

How to navigate each Case topic:

• Test Yourself – Before starting the video, launch the DICOM study and complete your independent review of the case in our diagnostic web viewer.
• Read alongside Dr. Burk – Keep the DICOM study open while you watch Dr. Burk review the case. We suggest popping the DICOM viewer open in a new window and viewing side by side with the video on your screen. 
• Review at your own pace – Utilize the video player features to pause, rewind, and slow down the video to work through the case at your own pace.
