AVALIAÇÃO POR IMAGEM DA ENDOMETRIOSE PROFUNDA: UM COMPARATIVO ENTRE ULTRASSONOGRAFIA TRANSVAGINAL E RESSONÂNCIA MAGNÉTICA
This integrative review compares transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging for deep endometriosis, finding that ultrasound is a suitable initial screening tool while MRI offers superior precision for complex lesions to aid surgical planning.

This integrative literature review compares the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging for deep infiltrating endometriosis, analyzing twenty articles published between 2010 and 2025. The findings indicate that while transvaginal ultrasound is a cost-effective initial screening tool with good sensitivity for intestinal and ovarian lesions when performed by experts, magnetic resonance imaging offers superior precision in identifying complex infiltrative lesions in areas such as the retrocervical region and uterosacral ligaments. Consequently, the authors conclude that these modalities are complementary, with ultrasound serving as the first-line examination and MRI reserved for complex cases to aid surgical planning. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the comparative imaging evaluation of deep infiltrating endometriosis.
