This 2014 literature review by Romosan and Valentin examined the published evidence on the sensitivity and specificity of transvaginal ultrasound findings that are suggestive of acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). It synthesizes current knowledge across studies to characterize how well specific ultrasound features perform diagnostically. The abstract does not describe a limitation, but as a review its conclusions depend on the heterogeneity and quality of the included literature rather than new primary data. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
