Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
PURPOSE: This research aims to present the findings of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in a series of patients with proven deep endometriosis (DE) and provide an updated literature review. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 2018 and October 2022, seven patients with DE lesions had their imaging and medical records retrospectively reviewed. Clinical data, recorded images of a standardized conventional B-mode ultrasound, and Sonovue® CEUS were interpreted by two blinded, independent, experienced radiologists in consensus. The enhanced characteristics of the DE lesion on CEUS were also assessed using VueBox® software quantitatively. RESULTS: DE lesion appeared as irregular hypoechoic or heterogeneous on conventional ultrasound with dotted blood flow signal on color Doppler. Six of seven DE lesions showed heterogeneous hypo-enhancement in arterial phases. All the lesions showed a heterogeneous washout rapidly that began in the late arterial phase. In quantified analysis, the mean relative peak enhancement compared with adjacent tissue was 0.47±0.25. CONCLUSION: Our findings and literature review suggested that CEUS could be a feasible and promising non-invasive modality for diagnosing DE.
