Adenomyosis uterus with hematometra
Updates to Case Attributes
Adenomyosis of the uterus is less well-defined on MRI and US than fibroids and has a signature pattern of "venetian blind" alternating echogenity on ultrasound. On On MRI it is characterizedcharacterised by a poorly defined thickening of the uterine wall with small cystic spaces.

Updates to Study Attributes
Expanded endometrium containing a fluid/fluid level on the longitudonallongitudinal image and no blood flow on colour Doppler. Note Note thickening of the posterior uterine wall with the typical "venetian blind" echo pattern of adenomyosis (best seen on the transverse image).
Image Ultrasound (Transverse) ( update )
Updates to Study Attributes
Poorly defined mass in the posterior uterine body causing obstruction to the endometrial cavity and resultant haematometra. There There is a generalized increase in vascularity to the uterus (arrows).Note. Note the 3 layers in the blood ie dependent: dependent red cells (containing metHb as low T2 signal), serum as supernatant (high T2 signal), and an intervening thin grey layer (ie(i.e. the buffy coat of platelets).
