This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the uterine sliding sign in routine pelvic ultrasound examinations for improving the diagnosis of deep endometriosis. A retrospective analysis was conducted at Mayo Clinic's Florida and Ariz…

OBJECTIVES: The study aim was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the uterine sliding sign in predicting deeply infiltrating endometriosis in the setting of non-physician sonographers performing but not interpreting the maneuver. The …

Endovaginal sonographic imaging has been shown to reliably identify pelvic endometriosis, but most United States imaging practices do not adequately assess locations and features of endometriosis beyond ovarian endometrioma. In this article…

The diagnosis of ovarian torsion is challenging and relies mostly on morphologic findings. Occasionally, women or children with acute pelvic pain who have undergone an initial ultrasound (US) evaluation with results interpreted as negative …

Pelvic ultrasound with endovaginal ultrasound is often the imaging test of choice in the initial evaluation of nonpregnant women with pelvic pain. This article considers the sonographic observations and techniques useful in diagnosis of a v…

Endometriosis is a common condition with significant morbidity, including pain and subfertility, which is often subject to a delay in diagnosis. Ultrasound has been successfully utilized, mostly outside North America, to preoperatively stag…

The Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound convened a panel of specialists from gynecology, radiology, and pathology to arrive at a consensus regarding the management of ovarian and other adnexal cysts imaged sonographically in asymptomatic …

Advances in technology and improved availability have led to increased use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate women presenting to the emergency department or to their primary care provider with abdo…

Gynecologic sonography has matured into a highly effective and accurate tool enabling confident diagnosis of a variety of adnexal masses. Using a practical evidence-based approach, sonologists are well equipped to differentiate expected fin…

PURPOSE: To determine the diagnostic performance of specific ultrasonographic (US) features in discriminating endometriomas from other adnexal masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two sonologists independently reviewed the sonograms of 252 adnexa…
