Abstract

This presentation focuses on the utility of ultrasound in diagnosing superficial endometriosis, a challenging condition to detect using traditional imaging methods. Superficial endometriosis refers to lesions on the surface of pelvic organs and peritoneum, causing severe pain and infertility. The presentation will highlight ultrasound’s potential as a non-invasive and cost-effective tool for detecting superficial endometriosis. Transvaginal and specialized ultrasound procedure approaches will be discussed including saline-infusion sonoPODography, enabling precise visualization of superficial lesions. Understanding sonographic features to distinguish superficial endometriosis from other pelvic pathologies was stressed, underscoring the role of skilled sonographers and clinicians. Early detection through ultrasound can lead to timely intervention and improved patient outcomes.
