[5] [6] In some cases, gallbladder wall thickening may be seen on ultrasound but is poorly defined and lacking specificity, particularly if the characteristic Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses are not visualized.

    Ultrasound imaging, like MRI, does not use radiation and is safe for examination of the pelvis and female reproductive organs. [25] Overall, it is estimated that transvaginal ultrasonography has a sensitivity of 79% and specificity of 85% for the detection of adenomyosis.
