Abstract

Endometriosis is a non-malignant disorder that affects 176 million women globally. Diagnostic delays result in severe dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. Therefore, there is a significant need to diagnose patients at an early stage. Our objective in this work is to investigate the potential of deep learning methods to classify endometriosis from ultrasound data. Retrospective data from 100 subjects were collected at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (New Brunswick, NJ, USA). Endometriosis was diagnosed via laparoscopy or laparotomy. We designed and trained five different deep learning methods (Xception, Inception-V4, ResNet50, DenseNet, and EfficientNetB2) for the classification of endometriosis from ultrasound data. Using 5-fold cross-validation study we achieved an average area under the receiver operator curve (AUC) of 0.85 and 0.90 respectively for the two evaluation studies.
