Meet Your Instructor, Alison Deslandes

I am a clinical academic sonographer from Adelaide, Australia (Kaurna land). In my clinical world, I am a specialist obstetric and gynaecological sonographer. While I love performing all aspects of gynaecological and obstetric ultrasound, my main passion is the diagnosis of endometriosis with transvaginal ultrasound. In my research world, I am a PhD candidate at the University of Adelaide investigating the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance diagnosis of endometriosis. My PhD research specifically focuses on the use of AI as a self-learning tool for sonographers learning to perform transvaginal ultrasound to diagnose endometriosis. In 2022 I completed a Masters degree by research, which also focused on transvaginal ultrasound of the diagnosis of endometriosis. My combined clinical and research expertise has made me a world-leading expert in the utility of transvaginal ultrasound for the diagnosis of endometriosis. I have had the privilege of being invited to speak on this topic at numerous international conferences including the World Congress of Endometriosis, ISUOG World Congress, the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction Congress, and the WFUMB World Congress of Ultrasound. I have a passion for gynaecological ultrasound and using this incredible tool to guide the course of a patients journey to ensure they get best possible outcomes for their health.
