The sensitivity of TVS for the detection of rectal/rectosigmoid DE seems to be slightly better than that of MRI, although RES was superior to both. The specificity of both TVS and MRI was excellent. As TVS is simpler, faster and more readily available than the other methods, we believe that it should be the first-line diagnostic tool for women with suspected DE. © 2020 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
