Pocket Guide: Consensus and Guidelines in Gynecological Ultrasound

Descrição sucinta do(s) objetivo(s)

Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is the primary imaging modality in gynecological practice, aiding in the diagnosis of various pathologies. In recent years, several consensus statements have been developed to standardize terminology, define findings, and establish measurement recommendations. This study proposes a practical and centralized guide to facilitate the application of these consensus guidelines in clinical practice.

Descrição da(s) doença(s), método(s) e/ou técnica(s)

A literature review was conducted to identify the most relevant gynecological ultrasound consensus guidelines, including:
✔ FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics)
✔ MUSA (Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment Group)
✔ IETA (International Endometrial Tumor Analysis Group)
✔ O-RADS (Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System)
✔ IDEA (International Deep Endometriosis Analysis Group)
✔ SRU Consensus (Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound – Pelvic US for Endometriosis)
These guidelines were summarized in a clear and visual format, highlighting standardized terminology, measurement techniques, and key imaging findings.

Discussão

Standardization in TVUS improves diagnostic accuracy and communication among specialists. However, to ensure the adoption of these standards, it is essential to train ultrasound specialists and disseminate this knowledge among referring physicians. A unified terminology enhances report interpretation and improves clinical decision-making.

Conclusões

This pocket guide aims to simplify the use of key gynecological ultrasound consensus guidelines, providing a quick and practical reference for radiologists. The adoption of standardized protocols enhances diagnostic reproducibility, ensuring greater accuracy and better patient management.
