Adenomyosis is found during infertility work up in many women who delay pregnancy till their late thirties and in some women in their early age. Dysregulation of myometrial architecture and function and altered endometrial receptivity are among the possible mechanisms by which adenomyosis causes infertility. Adenomyosis and endometriosis may have similar pathogenesis as they have frequent association in women. Adenomyosis can be reliably diagnosed in symptomatic infertile women by non invasive means such as transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging as well as hysterosalpingography, hysteroscopy and laparoscopy. Early diagnosis by non-invasive means followed by surgical (adenomyomectomy) or non-surgical (MRgFUS) treatment of focal adenomyosis have promising effect on future pregnancy whereas diffuse severe adenomyosis have poor prognosis.Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2015; Vol. 30(2) : 105-108

Abstract. For more than a decade, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been routinely employed in clinical diagnostics because it allows non-invasive studies of anatomical structures and physiological processes in vivo and to differentiate between healthy and pathological states, particularly of soft tissue. Here, we demonstrate that MRI can likewise be applied to fossilized biological samples and help in elucidating paleopathological and paleoecological questions: Five anomalous guards of Jurassic and Cretaceous belemnites are presented along with putative paleopathological diagnoses directly derived from 3D MR images with microscopic resolution. Syn vivo deformities of both the mineralized internal rostrum and the surrounding former soft tissue can be traced back in part to traumatic events of predator-prey-interactions, and partly to parasitism. Besides, evidence is presented that the frequently observed anomalous apical collar might be indicative of an inflammatory disease. These findings highlight the potential of Magnetic Resonance techniques for further paleontological applications.
