Systematic review evaluates non-invasive imaging's ability to assess fibrosis in benign uterine conditions, suggesting clinical potential.

The aim is to evaluate quantitative imaging methods for measuring fibrosis in benign uterine diseases non-invasively.
Conducted a systematic literature review using PRISMA guidelines.
Identified studies from multiple databases evaluating imaging techniques against fibrosis reference standards.
Analyzed modalities like SWE, MRE, DWI/ADC for diagnostic performance.
Twenty studies with 1,400 patients assessed various fibrotic conditions such as leiomyomas and adenomyosis.
SWE showed adenomyosis stiffness values of 17–22 kPa versus 4.7–11 kPa in healthy myometrium.
AUCs for imaging modalities ranged from 0.70 to 0.99, indicating high diagnostic performance.

Antoun et al. (2026) studied this question.
