This paper reviews recent advances in machine-learning methods for diagnosing endometriosis, emphasizing how training datasets (including issues like representation and data-related challenges) affect diagnostic accuracy. It discusses the role of medical imaging—particularly ultrasound and MRI—and analyzes contributions and limitations across studies that apply different learning approaches. A major caveat highlighted is that diagnosis remains difficult due to diverse clinical presentations and the absence of a definitive diagnostic standard, which complicates evaluation and model training. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically reviews machine learning–based diagnostic approaches and the importance of training datasets for endometriosis detection.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a complex gynecological condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Diagnosis and management of endometriosis are challenging due to diverse clinical manifestations and lack of definitive diagnostic methods. Medical imaging, particularly ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has shown potential in visualizing and assessing endometriosis lesions. In this research paper, we review recent advances in machine learning algorithms applied to endometriosis diagnosis, focusing on the importance of training datasets in improving diagnostic accuracy. We analyze the contributions of various studies and discuss the challenges and future directions in this field.
