This #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth, why not have a go at the ISUOG Academy's ATC9 course on Ultrasound findings of endometriosis? ⭐ This advanced training course emphasises transvaginal ultrasound as the first-line, non-invasive imaging modality for the diagnosis and preoperative assessment of endometriosis. ⭐ It provides a practical overview of the IDEA consensus, demonstrating how a standardised, stepwise ultrasound approach improves detection of superficial and deep disease and enhances reproducibility. ⭐ Key sonographic markers, including the sliding sign and pouch of Douglas obliteration, along with targeted assessment of the rectosigmoid, uterosacral ligaments, bladder and ureters are detailed. ⭐ This course highlights how ultrasound findings predict surgical complexity and guide minimally invasive management, supporting multidisciplinary planning and informed patient counselling.
