What are the comparative diagnostic accuracies of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS), MRI, and laparoscopy in detecting endometriosis?
Transvaginal ultrasound and MRI demonstrate comparable accuracy for detecting endometriosis, especially deep infiltrating types, though laparoscopy remains the gold standard for diagnosis.

The paper evaluates the comparative diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS), MRI, and laparoscopy for detecting endometriosis, focusing on different disease phenotypes including deep infiltrating disease. It reports that TVUS and MRI have similar diagnostic accuracy for endometriosis detection, particularly for deep infiltrating types, while laparoscopy is presented as the definitive diagnostic tool. The main limitation is that the conclusion is framed around diagnostic performance comparisons rather than offering new diagnostic techniques or addressing all possible clinical contexts. This paper is centrally about endometriosis—comparative diagnostic accuracy of TVUS, MRI, and laparoscopy for detecting endometriosis.
