Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
To improve the clinical care of women with pelvic pain and abnormal uterine bleeding due to
benign uterine conditions including leiomyomas (uterine fibroids) and adenomyosis by
evaluating the accuracy of radiology diagnostic exams (MRI(magnetic resonance imaging),
ultrasound and ultrasound with elastography).

Currently benign conditions of the uterus are frequently underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed. This
project will help determine which diagnostic radiology exams are most helpful to the
clinician in providing accurate diagnosis. In addition, this study will evaluate which exam
(MRI vs. Ultrasound) patients prefer over another exam.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. 18 years of age or older

2. Pelvic pain and/or abnormal uterine bleeding. (this is specific for Arm. 1 of this
study)

3. If you have had or are scheduled to have both a pelvic MRI (magnetic resonance
imaging) and a pelvic ultrasound with 6 months of the time of enrollment. (this is
specific to Arm 2 of this study).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. If you are post-menopausal(have not had a period in at least one year's time).

2. If you have been diagnosed with gynecological malignancy such as uterine, endometrial,
cervical or ovarian cancer.

3. If you are unable or unwilling to sign the informed consents

4. If you are unable to undergo the research study exams -
