Conclusions: British YAs and parents generally view US as acceptable, however parents expressed greater concerns than YAs themselves.Improving education about US diagnostic value, alongside addressing online misinformation, may improve acce…

BACKGROUND: Over the past decade, transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) has revolutionized the diagnosis of deep endometriosis. We can now accurately describe and evaluate lesions in multiple compartments of the pelvis, increasing diagnostic capac…

to investigate the prevalence of a new three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound marker of presence of adenomyosis, the roots sign. We evaluated the prevalence roots sign in a series of 48 volumes suspected for the presence of direct and indirect u…

The actual prevalence of superficial endometriosis is not known. However, it is considered the most common subtype of endometriosis. The diagnosis of superficial endometriosis remains difficult. In fact, little is known about the ultrasound…

In recent years, due to the development of standardized diagnostic protocols associated with an improvement in the associated technology, the diagnosis of pelvic endometriosis using imaging is becoming a reality. In particular, transvaginal…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) for detecting parametrial deep endometriosis, using laparoscopy as the reference standard. METHODS: A search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE and Web of Science for studies…

The role of ultrasound in the detection of the parametrial localisation of deep endometriosis although associated with ureteral stenosis and linked with a complex surgery with a high risk of intra and post-operative complications, is poor i…

The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of seven classical machine learning (ML) models trained with ultrasound (US) soft markers to raise suspicion of forniceal endometriotic involvement. Input data to the models was retrieved fr…
