Abstract
Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases, which has a negative effect on the women’s life quality and is one of the main causes of infertility. The early and preсise desease detection is essential to prevent the possibility of sequelae. From instrumental methods for the diagnosis of endometriosis ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and laparoscopy are currently used. MRI is the most informative non-invasive method in instrumental diagnosis of various forms of endometriosis. MRI of the pelvic organs has a high accuracy in the diagnosis of endometriosis and allows visualization of most endometriotic foci, including extraperitoneal, that allows you to properly plan treatment and prevent complications of the disease.
