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…

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

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…

Ultrasound technology with or without color Doppler allows a real-time evaluation of the entire female pelvis including gynecologic and non-gynecological organs, as well as their pathology. As ultrasound is an accurate tool for gynecologica…

To evaluate reproductive results of patients presenting adenomyosis under Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) criteria who underwent assisted reproductive techniques (ART) using oocyte donation or preimplantation genetic test…

OBJECTIVES: 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 endometriotic bowel involvement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Input dat…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the reproducibility of ultrasonographic (US) findings of rectosigmoid endometriosis among examiners with different level of expertise using stored three-dimensional (3D) volumes of the posterior compartment of the pelv…

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 endometriosis of uterosacral ligaments. Input data to the models was retrieved…

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…

Two main theories have been proposed to explain the origin of adenomyosis. The first theory postulated that adenomyosis results from invagination of the endometrial basalis into the myometrium as a repair mechanism after injury. Alternative…

In the present pictorial we show the ultrasonographic appearances of endometriosis in atypical sites. Scar endometriosis may present as a hypoechoic solid nodule with hyperechoic spots while umbilical endometriosis may appear as solid or pa…

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of ultrasound (US) soft markers as a first-line imaging tool to raise suspicion of forniceal involvement in women suspected of having deep endometriosis. We included in this prospective observat…

To analyse the reproducibility of ultrasonographic (US) findings of rectosigmoid endometriosis among examiners with different level of expertise using stored 3D volumes of posterior compartment of the pelvis as a part of SANABA (Sardinia-Na…

The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of deep endometriosis in patients without suspicion of endometrioma using an imaging technique as ultrasonography (US). We included in this observational study all patients with less than …

the aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of seven classical machine learning models of ultrasound (US) soft markers in raising suspicion of bowel involvement using a dataset with previously published results. The data driven strate…

According to the theory of retrograde menstruation, endometriosis would be due to the existence of Müllerian anomalies (MA) causing obstruction of the menstruation outflow tract. The aim of the present study to describe endometriosis findin…

The association between endometriotic ovarian cysts (EOC) and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is well known, although DIE is still often under diagnosed. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of transvaginal ultra…

The aim of this study is to provide the description of ultrasound (US) findings of a rare entity that occurs during pregnancy in patients with ovarian endometrioma, whose echo pattern changes by hormonal influences and mimics a malignant ov…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the interobserver agreement for diagnosis of deep endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum using introital 3-dimensional (3D) sonography. METHODS: Two experienced observers (observers A and…

The purpose of this study was to evaluate interobserver agreement in the diagnosis of deep endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum using introital three-dimensional ultrasonography (3D-US). Two experienced observers (Observers A and B) per…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of introital three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal sonography for preoperative detection of rectovaginal septal endometriosis. DESIGN: Ultrasonographic results were compared with surgical and hi…

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease predominantly found in women in reproductive age and typically causes pelvic pain and infertility. Ovaries are one of the common sites that endometriosis affects but different types of endome…

To evaluate by ultrasonography the presence of uterine adenomyosis using the pathologic result as the reference of standard. Since January 2006 to December 2007, 572 patients were surgically treated for benign uterine pathologies, including…
