MRI and CT scan???

2 Replies

Hiya, I hope everyone is as pain free as possible. Just a quick question - how many of you ladies have had an MRI or CT scan to help with the diagnosis and how deep endo is to enable their treatment plan? Thanks xx

I haven't had mine yet but I haven't even a laparoscopy yet my doc was able to feel my endo on weds when she done A bimanual exam in the front & back passage. So I'm getting an mri first to see how deep it is before they decide which surgery to go with as I may also need surgery on my bowel.

Had MRI this week to find out if I've deep endo. I've had CT before and it didn't show anything. I don't think they can.

Both need to be done/reviewed by specialist operator for them to pick up endo as v tricky on scans. Lap remains best way to diagnose.
