Ultrasound Image Bank: Advancing Medical Research and Diagnostics

The study titled "Ultrasound Image Bank: Advancing Medical Research and Diagnostics", sponsored by the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS, aims to create a large-scale database of gynecological ultrasound images. These images will be collected during routine clinical care from both healthy patients and those with benign or malignant gynecological conditions. The goal is to support medical training, clinical research, and the development of artificial intelligence (AI) models for diagnostic purposes.

This is a prospective, observational, single-center study, with an expected enrollment of approximately 25,000 patients over five years. The ultrasound images will be linked to histological outcomes (for those undergoing surgery within 3 months) or to follow-up scans at 1 year, to enhance early diagnosis and personalized treatment approaches.

Inclusion Criteria:

• All patients examined at Class Ultrasound OMIC of Fondazione Policlinico Gemelli, IRCCS in Rome.
• All patients can be enrolled regardless the results of ultrasound examination: no evidence of disease, suspicion of benign or malignant pathologies
• Aged ≥ 18 years old
• Patients who were previously enrolled and their outcome has been completed
• Signature of informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

• No signed informed consent;
