2、ver 30 years of age and may cause dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and abnormal genital bleeding .子宮腺肌癥是一種常見的非腫瘤性婦科疾病，是發(fā)生在子宮肌層的子宮內(nèi)膜異位癥。其主要發(fā)生于超越30歲，絕經(jīng)前的經(jīng)產(chǎn)婦并且能夠引起痛經(jīng)，月經(jīng)過多和不正常的陰道出血的病癥。Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a noninvasive modality with high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of adenomyosis .

3、 In cases of an enlarged uterus revealed with ultrasonography, MR imaging allows differentiation of adenomyosis from leiomyoma or other pathologic conditions owing to its excellent tissue contrast resolution .磁共振MR成像是一種非侵入性的檢查方式，其在診斷子宮腺肌癥上具有高的靈敏度和特異度。當超聲檢查中發(fā)現(xiàn)子宮增大時，磁共振由于其出色的組織對比分辨率可以把子宮腺肌癥與子宮肌瘤或其他疾病鑒

11、cle proliferation (Fig 2) .Because adenomyotic endometrium looks like the basalis endometrium, which seldom responds to hormonal stimuli, cyclic changes including degeneration, bleeding, and regeneration are less common in adenomyosis than in endometriosis . 子宮腺肌癥的典型表現(xiàn)是在T2WI上有一界限不清的低信號區(qū)域，這是由于豐富的平滑肌細

12、胞增殖。由于腺肌癥子宮內(nèi)膜跟基底子宮內(nèi)膜一樣，很少對激素的刺激做出反響，所以與其他子宮內(nèi)膜異位癥相比，包括變性，出血，再生這樣的周期性的變化較少出如今子宮腺肌癥中On T2-weighted MR images, ectopic endometrium appears as small high-signal-intensity areas like normal endometrium (Fig 2).

16、xation time and restricted diffusion due to high cellularity.然而，DWI上信號強度和惡性病變之間并沒有直接的相關(guān)性；大多數(shù)的惡性腫瘤在DWI上有非常高的信號強度，這反映了由于長的T2弛豫時間和高的細胞密度導致的分散受限。 Typical AdenomyosisFigure 2.

31、 exogenous progestational therapy or even in patients without specific hormonal stimulation. Congestion or edematous change may also increase the signal intensity of adenomyosis diffusely or focally on T2-weighted images (Fig 5). 這種景象能夠發(fā)生于懷孕期間，外源性孕激素治療期間，或者甚至在沒有特定激素刺激的患者身上。充血或水腫的變化也能夠會在T2WI上彌漫性添加子宮腺

40、signal intensity on T2-weighted images(Fig 6) 在這種情況下，MRI表現(xiàn)會變化較大，再一次的復查對診斷有協(xié)助。促性腺激素釋放激素類似物被用于治療子宮腺肌癥。激素治療后或絕經(jīng)期子宮腺肌癥的面積能夠會萎縮，并伴隨著T2WI上信號強度的降低。 Diffusion-weighted imaging with ADC measurement may provide another clue for the diagnosis, because these conditions (secretory transformation, decidualization

41、, congestion or edema) usually increase the ADC in tissues. A relatively high ADC in adenomyotic lesions with high signal intensity on T2-weighted images may allow differentiation from malignant lesions, which have a low ADC due to their high cellularity (Fig 5) (15). 彌散加權(quán)成像圖像上ADC值的丈量能夠提供診斷的另一條線索，由于

42、在這些情況下分泌轉(zhuǎn)化，蛻膜變，充血或水腫通常會添加組織的ADC值。子宮腺肌癥病灶的一個相對高的ADC值和高的T2信號強度可以將其從惡性病變中鑒別出來，由于惡性病變由于其高的細胞密度導致低的ADC值MR spectroscopy may also provide a clue for the diagnosis, because these benign adenomyotic conditions do not show high metabolic activity. A relatively low choline peak in adenomyotic lesions may allow

43、 differentiation from malignant tumors, which show a high choline peak due to their high metabolic activity (Fig5)磁共振質(zhì)子波譜也可以提供診斷線索，由于這些良性的腺肌并沒有表現(xiàn)為高的代謝活動。子宮腺肌癥病變的一個相對低的膽堿峰有助于將其與惡性腫瘤鑒別開，由于惡性腫瘤由于其高的代謝活動顯示為高的膽堿峰。Atypical Adenomyosis Pitfalls in Diagnosis of Adenomyosis子宮腺肌癥診斷中的圈套子宮腺肌癥診斷中的圈套The uterine b
