title: [Role of the ultrasonic examination in the diagnosis of pelvic pathology].
abstract: The diagnostic accuracy of sonography in pelvic pathology is assessed in the case in which the operator is aware of the clinical report. Results attribute in absolute terms more effectiveness to sonography than to the clinical examination but it must, in any case, be considered as an extension of the gynaecological examination and not a replacement of the anamnestic history and physical examination.
