Endometriosis is common among women of reproductive age. Due to its nonspecific clinical picture, a correct diagnosis of endometriosis is especially important in developing an effective treatment plan. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging with correct interpretation, and combined with differential diagnosis, is essential for determining the location and spread of endometriosis, which helps optimize the surgical treatment.

Эндометриоз весьма распространен среди женщин репродуктивного периода, а его диагностика, в связи с неспецифической клинической картиной, является важным этапом в постановке правильного диагноза и в разработке плана лечения. Проведение ультразвукового исследования органов малого таза и магнитно-резонансной томографии с правильной интерпретацией, с учетом дифференциальной диагностики помогает определить локализацию и распространенность эндометриоза и соответствующий объем хирургического лечения.
