ELASTOGRAFIA ULTRASSONOGRÁFICA NO DIAGNÓSTICO DE ENDOMETRIOSE
Ultrasound elastography demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing deep infiltrating endometriosis, correlating well with histopathology and outperforming other diagnostic methods.

This paper studied the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound elastography for deep infiltrating endometriosis using an integrative review methodology, with a PubMed search combining the terms “Ultrasound elastography,” “Elastosonography,” and “diagnosis” with “endometriosis.” It reports that elastography measures tissue mechanical properties and, across included studies, showed high sensitivity and specificity for pelvic deep endometriosis, with findings correlating with histopathology. The main limitation explicitly acknowledged in the article is that it is a review based on retrieved literature rather than a single prospective diagnostic study, and it does not provide detailed performance metrics for all included sources in the abstract. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it evaluates the effectiveness of ultrasound elastography for diagnosing deep infiltrating endometriosis.
