Figure 1

Axial ((a), (b)) T2-weighted fast SE images (repetition time msec/echo time msec = 4500/107) and sagittal ((c), (d)) T1-weighted fast SE images with fat suppression (TR/TE = 660/7.5) show the most frequent sites of involvement with peritoneal endometrial implants (X), such as the surface of the ovaries (a), uterus (a), pouch of Douglas ((a), (d)), uterosacral ligament (b), rectovaginal septum (c), and bowel (d).
