This structured “how to” book describes an evidence-based, step-by-step systematic approach to pelvic ultrasonography for women with suspected endometriosis, developed through a consensus process by the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) group with 29 authors across 5 continents. It focuses on training readers with basic ultrasonography skills to evaluate different endometriosis phenotypes using practical guidance, detailed schematics, high-resolution ultrasound images, and videos, including a comprehensive color atlas. A key caveat stated in the provided text is that the content is intended as a skills-development and benchmarking resource, emphasizing technique and evaluation approach rather than presenting original trial outcomes. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it provides step-by-step guidance on ultrasonography to detect endometriosis phenotypes.
