Cervical cancer, a malignancy that arises from the cervix, is the fourth most common cancer in women, accounting for an estimated 604,000 new cases and 342,000 deaths worldwide. The most frequent histotypes are HPV-related squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.

The culmination of a major international collaboration spanning three years has resulted in the publication of an International Consensus Statement on the use of non-invasive imaging techniques for the diagnosis and classification of pelvic deep endometriosis.

Read the joint consensus statement aiming to guide clinicians involved in treating women with suspected endometriosis during patient assessment, counseling and planning of surgical treatment strategies in the UOG Journal.

The May issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a randomized controlled trial on the effect of docosahexaenoic acid supplementation on fetal ductal constriction, a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the performance of externally validated risk-prediction models for pre-eclampsia, a cohort study delineating the ultrasound features of benign and malignant mesenchymal uterine tumors and a study comparing the performance of different fetal weight charts and definitions of fetal growth restriction in predicting adverse outcome. 

The April issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review on the diagnostic performance of prenatal ultrasound in coarctation of the aorta, a nationwide cohort study on the outcome of multifetal reduction in quadruplet pregnancy, a study validating the IETA-1 model for intracavitary uterine pathology in women without abnormal uterine bleeding and a summary of the findings of a systematic review on cervical cerclage in twin pregnancy.

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women globally, with more than 660,000 new cases and nearly 350,000 deaths reported in 2022 alone¹.

The March issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review evaluating the yield of prenatal exome sequencing in agenesis of the corpus callosum, a study comparing singleton and twin growth charts in the prediction of neonatal morbidity in twin pregnancy, a prospective study updating the M6 risk-prediction model in pregnancy of unknown location and an analysis of a new machine-learning model for predicting first-trimester pre-eclampsia in a Latin American population.

This issue also features the new ISUOG Practice Guidelines on the performance of third-trimester obstetric ultrasound scan.

Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology (UOG) is the leading peer-reviewed journal in its field with an impact factor of 7.1. Published monthly, it includes research articles, systematic reviews, guidelines and expert perspectives. You can read the January issue for FREE until the end of January.

Upper Egypt is historically one of the most disadvantaged areas in the country. For a week in November, the ISUOG Outreach team was privileged to work on a training program with 21 medical practitioners from Egypt. The ultimate aim of the program was to improve women’s healthcare in the local community.

The December issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review collating the current evidence on prenatal diagnosis and perinatal outcome of congenital knee dislocation, a multicenter study proposing a new model for prediction of adverse outcome in extremely preterm growth-restricted fetuses requiring early delivery, a large regional study evaluating the role of SARS-CoV-2 infection as a cause of fetal death, a study assessing the impact of choroid plexus size in cases with an abnormal closure of the fourth ventricle, and a prospective study demonstrating the potential of photoacoustic imaging in improving O-RADS risk assessment of adnexal lesions. Also in the issue, we celebrate the award winners announced at the 33rd World Congress on Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology and thank all contributors to the Journal’s peer-review process in 2023.

VISUOG is a comprehensive visual encyclopedia for ultrasound in obstetrics & gynecology. Detailed anatomical visualisations, case studies and expert commentary have collectively contributed to enhancing clinical decision-making and diagnostic accuracy.
