Endometriosis Module

1 in 10 women worldwide are affected by endometriosis – yet diagnosis takes an average of 7-10 years. Simulation transforms endometriosis training by giving clinicians structured, hands-on practice, shortening the path from learning to accurate diagnosis.

The Endometriosis module on Ultrasound Mentor delivers a realistic scanning experience and enables learners to review a wide variety of patient cases without causing discomfort or distress to women affected by endometriosis. It offers a comprehensive collection of cases focused on transvaginal ultrasound evaluation of endometriosis, emphasizing detailed mapping of disease extent.

Designed for advanced practitioners seeking to deepen their existing knowledge, the module is structured into two key areas:

• Assessment by Region: Teaches core scanning techniques to identify anatomical locations and characteristic ultrasound findings of various manifestations of endometriosis.
• Clinical Cases: Provides in-depth case studies to further explore and understand the diverse sonographic appearances of endometriosis.

Learning Objectives

• To methodically perform complete pelvis examinations, identifying commonly seen simple and more complex endometriotic disease on the ovaries, bowel and bladder.
• To practice clinical variations of endometriosis using real ultrasound images
  To evaluate the four components required for a thorough ultrasound examination in the evaluation of pelvic endometriosis
• To identify the anatomical locations and findings of the various manifestations of endometriosis
• To practice the evaluation of the Sliding Sign as a diagnosis tool
• To understand the value of using ultrasound in the management of endometriosis
  To practice acquisition of meaningful ultrasound images and cine loops while performing an examination
• To practice reporting clinical findings and appearances of endometriosis in routine pelvic examinations

Target Audience: Gynecologists, GYN Surgeons, Radiologists, Sonographers, Radiographers
