Examples
To complete a panoramic view of superficial peritoneal lesions, another classification considers the frequency in which they are detected by laparoscopy to categorize them as typical (black powder-burn lesions) or atypical implants (the rest of the aforementioned). 
In line with the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology Endometriosis Guideline Core Group, we believe that advances in imaging technologies, such as transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, have made laparoscopy no longer justified for diagnosing endometriosis.
