Purpose. Improving the diagnosis of structural changes in the pelvic organs in women with infertility based on the pelvis MRI. Materials and methods. A total of 85 women with infertility were examined. The age of the patients varied between 21-33 years. Results. 36 women were given pelvis MRI scans and no pathologies were found. MRI pelvis scan of 49 women revealed some pathologies: congenital abnormalities in 8 cases (16,3%); endometriosis was detected in 26 cases (53,06%) (adenomyosis in 5 cases; external genital endometriosis in 12 cases: combined endometriosis in 9 cases; 7 women (14,2%) were diagnosed leiomyomas and 8 women (16,3%) polycystic ovary syndrome. Conclusion. MRI scan helped to determine developmental abnormalities of the re-productive tract of women which could explain their infertility or the diseases they had. MRI semeiology of the visualized pathologies is characterized by the found congenital abnormali-ties of the women, benign growths in the wombs and adnexa, different forms of endometriosis.
