Endometriosis presents a common and significant health burden affecting approximately 1 in 10 reproductive age patients who are assigned female at birth. Recently guidelines have begun shifting away from laparoscopy as the first-line diagnostic tool and instead recommend imaging for initial diagnosis and presurgical mapping of endometriosis. This shift places the radiologist in a central role for diagnosis and assessment of management efforts. During this comprehensive review article, we discuss the importance of MDC in the treatment of advanced endometriosis, the radiologist 's role at endometriosis MDC as well as the opportunities that exist for the radiologist to add-value in an endometriosis service.
子宫内膜异位症是一种常见且严重的健康负担，影响着约十分之一出生时被指定为女性的育龄患者。最近，指南已开始不再将腹腔镜检查作为一线诊断工具，而是推荐使用影像学进行子宫内膜异位症的初始诊断和术前定位。这一转变使放射科医生在诊断和管理评估中处于核心地位。在这篇综述文章中，我们讨论了多学科协作（MDC）在晚期子宫内膜异位症治疗中的重要性、放射科医生在子宫内膜异位症多学科协作中的作用，以及放射科医生在子宫内膜异位症服务中增加价值的机会。
