Ultrasound has become an invaluable tool for the workup and management of patients with symptoms and signs of endometriosis. Until the publication on the systematic approach to ultrasound in patients with suspected endometriosis by the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) group, there was significant heterogeneity in the scientific literature in nomenclature, definitions and components of this particular scan. Despite the concise four steps outlined in their consensus statement, the nature of this ultrasound is advanced, complex and time consuming. Without intending to oversimplify the task, we propose a practical and comprehensive approach on how to perform an ultrasound scan to assess the pelvis of a woman with potential underlying endometriosis.
超声已成为对有子宫内膜异位症症状和体征的患者进行检查和管理的一项宝贵工具。在国际深部子宫内膜异位症分析（IDEA）小组发表关于疑似子宫内膜异位症患者超声检查的系统方法之前，科学文献中关于这种特定扫描的命名、定义和组成部分存在显著异质性。尽管他们的共识声明中概述了简洁的四个步骤，但这种超声检查的性质是先进、复杂且耗时的。在无意过度简化任务的情况下，我们提出一种实用且全面的方法，介绍如何进行超声扫描以评估可能患有潜在子宫内膜异位症的女性盆腔情况。
