Endometriosis imaging in the community setting: implementation of the SRU consensus recommendations on routine pelvic US.

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.
