The Role of Ultrasound in the Evolving Landscape of Precision Imaging of Endometriosis
This review discusses transvaginal ultrasound techniques, challenges, and applications for diagnosing endometriosis, highlighting its effectiveness in early detection and precision imaging.

This review examines how transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) is being used for precision imaging in endometriosis, summarizing current techniques, challenges, and clinical applications aimed at improving early detection. It highlights advances such as real-time dynamic imaging, sonoPODgraphy, and Doppler assessment, which improve visualization of superficial endometriosis that was previously difficult to detect. The paper’s caveat is that it summarizes evolving methods and does not report new primary datasets or analyses, so comparative effectiveness across protocols is not directly established within the review. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on the role and evolving TVS techniques for diagnosing endometriosis.
