OBJECTIVES: Accurate diagnosis of pathology from ultrasound images is reliant upon images of a suitable diagnostic quality being acquired. This study aimed to create a novel machine learning model to automatically assess transvaginal ultras…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition that is associated with painful periods and a variety of co-morbid symptoms for 10% of women and people presumed female at birth globally and upto 14% in Australia. Poor communit…

OBJECTIVES: The development of valuable artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist with ultrasound diagnosis depends on algorithms developed using high-quality data. This study aimed to test the intra- and interobserver agreement of a pro…

Endometriosis is a serious multifocal condition that can involve various pelvic structures, with Pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration being a significant clinical indicator for diagnosis. To circumvent the need for invasive diagnostic proced…

Endometriosis, defined as the growth of endometrial-like tissues outside the uterus, is a common disease among women. Numerous in vivo rodent models of endometriosis have been developed to explore multiple aspects of this poorly understood …

PurposeThe aim of this study was to investigate the current application of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the teaching of ultrasound skills as they pertain to gynaecological ultrasound.MethodsA scoping review was performed. Eight dat…

Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women and those assigned female at birth. However, it takes 6.4 years to diagnose using the conventional standard of laparoscopy. Noninvasive imaging enables a timelier diagnosis, reducing diagnostic delay as we…

Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women, taking 6.4 years to diagnose using conventional laparoscopy. Non-invasive imaging enables timelier diagnosis, reducing diagnostic delay, risk and expense of surgery. This review updates literature explori…

The Robinson Research Institute of the University of Adelaide convened a multidisciplinary group of n = 33 clinicians, researchers and representatives of government organisations on the 2 October 2014 for a workshop entitled "Promoting fert…

microRNA (miRNA) have emerged as important epigenetic modulators of gene expression in diverse pathological and physiological processes. In the endometrium, miRNA appear to have a role in the dynamic changes associated with the menstrual cy…

The nude mouse model of endometriosis was used to study the longitudinal integration of human endometrium at an ectopic site. Histological, morphometric and immunohistochemical techniques were used to investigate nude mouse lesion developme…
