Abstract
Background: Preoperative imaging assessment is essential to draw an accurate map of endometriotic lesions. Knowledge of the extension and severity of disease is paramount for the surgical team in order to plan the type of surgery, complete the operating team and properly inform the patient with details of the risks. Material and Method: Transvaginal ultrasound is the fi rst-line imaging technique for ovarian and deep infi ltrating endometriosis, but the accuracy of the diagnosis is proportional with the experience of the operator. Respecting the four steps of ultrasound evaluation technique decreases the probability of misdiagnosis.
