摘要

Sir,We read with great interest the paper by Kunz et al. entitled 'Adenomyosis in endometriosis - prevalence and impact on fertility. Evidence from magnetic resonance imaging' (Kunz et al., 2005). The authors found a higher incidence of uterine adenomyosis in women with endometriosis than in women without endometriosis and suggested that adenomyosis could be a determinant of infertility (Kunz et al, 2005). However, this article raises issues concerning the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging protocol used to diagnose adenomyosis.Concerning the imaging technique itself, the authors directly adopted a protocol used in a study published five years previously (Kunz et al, 2000) that may not be optimal for the diagnosis of adenomyosis. First, a 1.5-T pelvic phased-array coil with a 256 x 512 matrix offers better spatial resolution than a 1-T body coil with a matrix of 154 x 256, particularly for the detection of hyperintense myometrial spots, which are the findings most specific to adenomyosis. Second, the usefulness of fat-saturated turbo-spin echo sequences for the detection of adenomyosis has never been demonstrated. Third, breath-hold T2-weighted sequences (true fast imaging with steady-state precession and turbo-inversion-recovery sequences) offer better differentiation between focal adenomyosis and uterine contraction, optimize the accuracy of MR imaging for the diagnosis of adenomyosis and reduce interobserver variability, while fast spin-echo T2-weighted images and breath-hold T2-weighted sequences appear to have similar accuracy (Bazot et ah, 2003).
