**6.2 MRI**

MRI has been shown to be highly accurate in the diagnosis of adenomyosis. It can differentiate between adenomyosis and the fibroids. MR imaging may be complimentary (**Figure 3**). The main MRI criterion for diagnosing adenomyosis is by detection of high-intensity tiny myometrial cysts in the inner myometrium, irregularity, and asymmetric junctional zone. MRI can distinguish the subtypes of adenomyosis: diffuse and solid or cystic adenomyoma.
