Official Title: What Are we Missing? Diagnosing Uterine Adenomyosis Using Ultrasound Elastography
Brief Summary: To improve the clinical care of women with pelvic pain and abnormal uterine bleeding due to benign uterine conditions including leiomyomas (uterine fibroids) and adenomyosis by evaluating the accuracy of radiology diagnostic exams (MRI(magnetic resonance imaging), ultrasound and ultrasound with elastography).
Detailed Summary: Currently benign conditions of the uterus are frequently underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed. This project will help determine which diagnostic radiology exams are most helpful to the clinician in providing accurate diagnosis. In addition, this study will evaluate which exam (MRI vs. Ultrasound) patients prefer over another exam.
Sponsor: University of Michigan
Current Primary Outcome: Diagnostic accuracy of MRI and ultrasound elastography for distinguishing adenomyosis and fibroids [ Time Frame: 1-2 months per patient ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome: Patient preference between ultrasound and MRI [ Time Frame: 6 months per patient ]
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
