Abstract: Endometriosis is a common and frequently-occurring disease in women of childbearing age. It is the most common cause of chronic pelvic pain. As endometriosis is widespread, imaging techniques can provide a comprehensive and objective assessment of the lesion. This article describes the application of a variety of imaging techniques in the diagnosis of endometriosis, and reviews the techniques and advances in ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.

Key words: Endometriosis, Imaging diagnosis, Ultrasound, Magnetic resonance imaging
