This chapter in a gynecology ultrasonography book reviews ultrasound imaging approaches as they pertain specifically to endometriosis, within a broader structure covering other benign conditions and imaging techniques. It is presented as part of the “Benign gynecology” section and spans pages 114–121, but the provided text does not include the chapter’s substantive methods, results, or detailed findings. The main limitation is that no summary or content from the chapter body is available in the supplied material, so key conclusions cannot be extracted. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it includes a dedicated chapter titled “Ultrasound imaging in endometriosis” within “Ultrasonography in Gynecology.”
