Endometriosis is a chronic condition that significantly impacts patients' quality of life, and is often accompanied by substantial diagnostic delays. Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for diagnosing endometriosis and accurately determining the localization of the disease. A standardized ultrasound examination combined with a comprehensive understanding of pelvic anatomy are crucial for diagnosing the condition and guiding potential surgical interventions. This Virtual Issue compiles the latest research and expert guidance on endometriosis, published in Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology. It covers methodologies for assessing pelvic anatomy, including parametria, the pelvic sidewall, adhesions, superficial and deep endometriosis, and research on the evolution and impact of the disease.
