Sonovaginography is a way of assessing gynaecological diseases that can be described as cheap yet accurate and non-invasive. It consists of distention of the vagina with ultrasound gel or saline solution while performing transvaginal sonography to clearly visualize and assess a host of local cervical, as well as any vaginal, disorders. With endometriosis being a steadily growing gynaecological pathology affecting 8-15% of women of fertile age, transvaginal sonography (TVS) can be considered as one of the most accurate and comprehensive imaging techniques in its diagnosis. Nevertheless, the accuracy may vary depending on scan sites. The purpose of this narrative review is to assess the performance of sonovaginography in detecting endometriosis in those sites where TVS has a low sensitivity.
超声阴道造影是一种评估妇科疾病的方法，其特点是价格低廉、准确且无创。它是在进行经阴道超声检查时，用超声凝胶或生理盐水扩张阴道，以便清晰地可视化并评估一系列局部宫颈以及任何阴道疾病。子宫内膜异位症是一种不断增加的妇科疾病，影响8%至15%的育龄妇女，经阴道超声检查（TVS）可被视为其诊断中最准确、最全面的成像技术之一。然而，准确性可能因扫描部位而异。本叙述性综述的目的是评估超声阴道造影在TVS敏感性较低的部位检测子宫内膜异位症的性能。
