Abstract
Comparative study between three-dimensional ultrasound and two-dimensional ultrasound in the assessment of ovarian function among infertile females
Highlights
Throughout the entire female reproductive lifespan, the ovary relies on the reserve of resting follicles or ‘ovarian reserve’ which is a measure of ovarian ageing
2D sonography has been used to study the ovaries and endometrium using vaginal sonography as the method of choice. 3D sonography is less commonly used as a predictor of ovarian reserve or to monitor the response to ovulation induction
The collected data used for comparison between use of two dimension and three dimension ultrasound for evaluation of ovaries of infertile patients - including patient’s characteristics, fertility data and 2D & 3D measurements were tabulated and shown infigures
Summary
Conclusions and Recommendations: Three-dimensional ultrasonography is an imaging modality that can be used as a complementary method for other endocrine markers for the assessment of ovarian reserve It allows excellent evaluation of the ovaries with direct quantitative estimation of antral follicle count, ovarian volume and with power Doppler. Throughout the entire female reproductive lifespan, the ovary relies on the reserve of resting follicles or ‘ovarian reserve’ which is a measure of ovarian ageing. It is defined by the quantity and quality of the remaining primordial follicular pool within the paired ovaries at any given time[1]. The inter observer reliability of antral follicle counts comparing real-time 2D sonographic studies with offline counts interpreted from stored 3D data volumes has been shown to be very good[3]
