Fig. 8

A, B. Axial T2WI (A); Axial T1WI (B) with fat saturation. Bilateral endometriotic cysts are observed posterior to the uterus, appearing as a ‘kissing ovary’. At the posterior surface of the uterus, fibrotic irregular thickening (arrows) is observed as a low signal intensity on T2WI (A). Small high-signal foci are included within the lesion on T1WI (B). The bilateral ovaries and rectum converge at this point. This point corresponds to the insertion area of the uterosacral ligament, called the torus uterinus. During laparoscopic cystectomy, the pouch of Douglas is closed by adhesion. WI = weighted image
