Diagnosis of Endometriosis: A Practical Manual – Simone Ferrero Premium Multicolor Matt Print

Endometriosis is one of the most reliably missed diagnoses in gynaecology. Women wait years for an answer, and the usual reason is not that the disease is invisible — it is that the imaging was never done properly, or was done by someone who had not been trained to look for it. This manual exists to close that gap.

Edited by Simone Ferrero, Associate Professor at the University of Genova and the author of more than a hundred peer-reviewed papers on endometriosis, it is a practical imaging manual rather than a general textbook. It takes each form of the disease in turn and shows you what to do, what to look for and what it looks like when you find it — across transvaginal ultrasonography, enhanced transvaginal ultrasonography and MRI, with the image count to make that teachable.

Why This Book Matters

• It covers extra-pelvic disease — thoracic, abdominal wall, inguinal and pelvic nerve endometriosis — which most gynaecologists were never trained to recognise
• It gives the diagnostic performance of each imaging technique, so you know what a negative scan is actually worth
• It is step-by-step and technical, including patient preparation, which is where most failed scans are lost before they start
• It treats ultrasound as a diagnostic instrument in skilled hands, not as a formality before laparoscopy
