Endometriosis (EMS) is a benign condition characterized by a systemic inflammation that affects fertile women at reproductive age. Ultrasound became, in recent years, the method of choice for both effective diagnostic and preoperative planning. Therefore, accurate characterization and mapping of endometriotic lesions is imperative in such circumstances to enable optimal approach of treatment, whether surgical or non-surgical based on the severity of the findings. This pictorial essay outlines a practical approach to evaluating patients with deep endometriosis by means of transvaginal ultrasound. The technical aspects are in conjunction with both consensus of the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) group and the hands-on experience acquired through daily clinical practice.
子宫内膜异位症（EMS）是一种良性疾病，其特征是系统性炎症，影响育龄期的育龄妇女。近年来，超声已成为有效诊断和术前规划的首选方法。因此，在这种情况下，准确识别和描绘子宫内膜异位症病变对于根据检查结果的严重程度采取最佳治疗方法（无论是手术还是非手术治疗）至关重要。这篇图文并茂的文章概述了一种通过经阴道超声评估深部子宫内膜异位症患者的实用方法。技术方面结合了国际深部子宫内膜异位症分析（IDEA）小组的共识以及通过日常临床实践获得的实践经验。
