Endometriosis
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of the study is evaluate the fusion ultrasound performance compared to MRI and coelioscopy diagnosis when a surgical intervention is performed.
Detailed description
The research is about diagnosis performance between fusion ultrasound and the gold standard (MRI coelioscopy ). Fusion ultrasound is a no-invasive scientific technical which allow with security to evaluate the progress of endometriosis lesions. During 39 months, 200 patients will be follow. In one arm, there is the control group with women without endometriosis. In the second arm, there is the patient with endometriosis. We will compare monitoring differences between gold standard and fusion ultrasound ( Cost assessment,exams duration, reproductibility, the link between symptoms and evolution of the lesion size).
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTFusion ultrasound
Fusion ultrasound is a technique that allows a volume acquired in MRI to be coupled to an ultrasound scan with real-time image synchronisation.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (VPP) and negative predictive value (VPN) of fusion ultrasound compared to transvaginal ultrasound and MRI for the diagnosis of endometriosis lesions | 3 years and 3 months | To evaluate the diagnostic performance of fusion ultrasound compared to transvaginal gynaecological ultrasound and MRI for the diagnosis of endometriosis lesions. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate the reproducibility of the conclusions of the fusion ultrasound between 2 operators. | 3 years and 3 months | Evaluation of the reproducibility by an intra-class correlation test for the conclusions of fusion ultrasound between two operators. |
| To evaluate the contribution of fusion ultrasound in the follow-up of patients suffering from endometriosis, in particular with an ultrasound follow-up in comparison with an initial reference MRI in the case of medical or surgical management. | 3 years and 3 months | Correlation between the evolution of clinical and quality of life symptoms (EHP30 form and Short Form 36) and the evolution of lesion size between initial MRI and follow-up ultrasounds at 6 months and one year |
| Compare the duration of a standard ultrasound scan to an ultrasound scan with fusion | 3 years and 3 months | Comparison of the average examination time by a Student T-test between standard and fusion ultrasound. |
| Evaluation of the cost of imaging for 3 years between an annual fusion ultrasound surveillance in replacement of a annual MRI surveillance | 3 years and 3 months | Comparison of imaging costs will be carried out over 3 years between a conventional procedure with annual MRI and the procedure being evaluated |
