Introduction: The main goal of our work was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the assessment of deep endometriosis in the pelvis. Our second aim was to establish a learning curve of a sonographer and a radiologists (non-experts). As an introduction to the subject we have published 3 reviews on the diagnosis and one narrative review on the classification systems in the evaluation of endometriosis has been submitted for publication. Methodology: Reviews were written as narrative reviews based on PubMed search and scientific societies recommendations. We have offered participation to all patients in the endometriosis centre with high suspicion of deep endometriosis, who then underwent examination by ultrasound and MRI by expert and non-expert before their surgical treatment, all findings described according to the consensus IDEA (international Deep Endometriosis Analysis group, 2016). Surgical and histological findings were used as a reference standard. Learning curve was defined as an improvement in accuracy in three blocks, into which the patients were assigned in the chronological order. Results of the scientific studies: From 07/2016 to 02/2018 the participation was offered to 111 patients, 51 underwent both imaging examinations...
