| خلاصه مقاله | Introduction:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been the gold standard imaging modality for Mullerian ductanomalies (MDAs) due to its exceptional precision, noninvasiveness and lack of ionization radiation. Mullerian duct anomalies (MDA) represent a spectrum of congenital disorders which occur during fetal development and can affect the female fertility and pregnancy.
Method:
We employed a comprehensive search strategy across multiple electronic databases, including PubMed, MEDLINE, and google scholar. A detailed search string was incorporated with keywords and Medical Subject Headings terms related to mullerian abnormalities، MDAs، MRI sequences.
Result:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains the preferred imaging modality for diagnosing Mullerian duct anomalies (MDAs) due to its non-invasive nature and superior detail compared to other techniques. This review highlights the crucial role of selecting appropriate MRI sequences for accurate diagnosis. The judicious use of T1-weighted and T2-weighted sequences, with and without fat suppression, is essential. T2-weighted sequences provide detailed anatomical information of the uterus, vagina, and ovaries. Fat-suppressed sequences further aid in distinguishing tissues and identifying abnormalities. Additionally, 3D T2-weighted sequences offer superior visualization of complex anatomical details. By emphasizing the importance of specific MRI sequences, this review underscores their impact on achieving a precise diagnosis of MDAs and potentially improving patient outcomes.
Conclusion:
It is well-established that the judicious application of MRI imaging, utilizing various weightings and sequences, can yield valuable insights for medical professionals in both anatomical and physiological assessments. |
