Introduction

A comprehensive survey of the use of ultrasound in management of infertile patients is presented in this publication. Particular attention is given to recently developed techniques such as assessment of endometrial changes, ovarian blood flow measurements, and percutaneous oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization.

Recent Techniques

The very recent technique of transvaginal sonography is presented and richly illustrated with original results obtained in biopsy-guided oocyte retrieval, and in the precise delineation of follicle size and number for infertility treatment.

Guidance and Interpretation

Guidance in the interpretation of ultrasonic findings, which include potential limitations and pitfalls, is provided in each chapter. Researchers and practitioners interested in the management of infertile patients will find this volume indispensable.
