Endometriosis not triggered or worsened by automobile accident

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I understand your concerns about endometriosis.

MRI can be detected on MRI of lower back if it is large in size. Small endometriotic spots cannot be diagnosed by any imaging modality.

Endometriosis is not triggered or worsened by automobile accident.
