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…

To assess non-expert interobserver agreement for sonographic diagnosis of adenomyosis. 47 videoclips and 3D volumes (25 cases with adenomyosis and 22 cases without adenomyosis according to expert subjective impression) were evaluated by one…

OBJECTIVE:: Some recent studies have explored how the experience in the observers change their performance in the endometriosis detection using MRI but the effects of the clinical information remains uncertain. The purpose of this study was…

Endometriosis is a chronic multifactorial disease. It is caused by the spread of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. The transvaginal ultrasound is considered the first-line, noninvasive diagnostic method for the accur…

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a pathology of a woman's reproductive organs that originates from an infectious process spread through the cervix to the uterus, fallopian tubes up to the ovaries, and pelvic peritoneum. PID is the main …

OBJECTIVES: 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 rectosigmoid (RS) involvement in women suspected of having deep endometriosis. METHODS: We include…

OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of ovarian pure endometrioid carcinomas. METHODS: This was a retrospective multicenter study of patients with a histological diagnosis of pure endometrioid carcinoma. We id…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent benign chronic disease that requires a chronic medical therapy. Although currently available drugs are efficacious in treating endometriosis-related pain, some women experience partial or n…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the learning curves of trainees during a structured offline/hands-on training program for the ultrasonographic diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). METHODS: Four trainees (all Ob/Gyn postgraduates with a…

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…

Due to the high sensitivity and specificity reported, the detection rate of rectosigmoid (RS) endometriosis by an ultrasonographic (US) evaluation of an expert have to be considered a gold standard comparable to laparoscopy. No information …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) transvaginal ultrasonography (US) in comparison with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for identification of deep infiltrating endometriosis. METHO…

Ovarian cancer is the fifth more common type of cancer in women and the forth cause of cancer death in women. Gynecological ultrasound is one of the main investigation methods that allows the identification and detailed description of pelvi…

To compare the ovarian response to the gonadotropins in patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis based on ultrasonography (US) with or without previous ovarian surgery for endometrioma. We also compared these responses in unexplained, …

To assess if a structured off-line training program improves diagnostic performance of gynecologist in evaluation of patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). A two week training program was conducted. One day was devoted to theo…

To describe clinical and ultrasound features of ovarian endometrioid carcinoma. Patients with a histological diagnosis of ovarian endometrioid carcinoma, who had undergone preoperative ultrasound, were retrospectively identified from 10 ult…

OBJECTIVE: To perform a systematic review of studies comparing the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) including only studies in which patients u…
