To summarise the uterine adenomyosis diagnostic modalities that could be used: clinical diagnosis, TVS, MRI, elastosonography, and the gold standard method, which is pathological investigation of hysterectomy samples. Objective: This study aims to assess the accuracy of shear wave elastography in the diagnosis of adenomyosis compared to MRI.
