Abstract

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder with a significant burden of morbidity that is often subject to substantial diagnostic delay. While transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is the first-line imaging tool for symptoms like chronic pelvic pain and infertility, it has limitations in detecting deep endometriosis. In 2024, the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound (SRU) issued recommendations to enhance detection by incorporating additional techniques into standard TVUS. This article outlines practical adaptations to improve diagnostic accuracy with minimal extra scan time in community practices. It covers patient selection, stakeholder involvement, training, and quality assurance while addressing implementation challenges. Community ultrasound practices play a key role in early detection, guiding patients toward appropriate care.

子宫内膜异位症影像学在社区设置：执行SRU共识建议的常规盆腔造影。

子宫内膜异位症是一种常见的妇科疾病，具有显著的发病率负担，通常需要大量的诊断延迟。虽然经阴道超声（TVUS）是慢性盆腔疼痛和不孕症等症状的一线成像工具，但它在检测深部子宫内膜异位症方面存在局限性。2024年，超声放射科医师协会（SRU）发布了建议，通过将额外的技术纳入标准tvu来增强检测。本文概述了在社区实践中以最小的额外扫描时间提高诊断准确性的实际适应性。它涵盖了患者选择、利益相关者参与、培训和质量保证，同时解决了实施方面的挑战。社区超声实践在早期发现、指导患者接受适当治疗方面发挥着关键作用。
