Although laparoscopy has classically been defined as the gold standard for diagnosis of endometriosis, there is now a strong recommendation for the use of advanced imaging in diagnosing the disease. In addition to playing a crucial role in the diagnosis of endometriosis, advanced imaging is also essential for assisting gynaecologic surgeons in planning the surgical management of complex cases of deep endometriosis. This case demonstrates a metaverse of high-level imaging modalities, including advanced ultrasound and magnetic resonance, which were further enhanced with medical virtual reality and used for the assessment of a patient seen in an outpatient tertiary care gynaecology clinic.
虽然腹腔镜检查经典地被定义为子宫内膜异位症诊断的金标准,但现在强烈推荐使用先进的影像学方法来诊断该疾病。除了在子宫内膜异位症的诊断中发挥关键作用外,先进的影像学方法对于协助妇科外科医生规划深部子宫内膜异位症复杂病例的手术管理也是必不可少的。本病例展示了一个高级影像学手段的元宇宙,包括先进的超声和磁共振,以及医学虚拟现实技术的进一步增强,并用于评估在三级妇科诊所就诊的患者。
