Abstract

Infertility is defined as failure to achieve pregnancy during 1 year of unprotected intercourse. The clinical evaluation of infertility has become increasingly sophisticated over the past several decades. Significant advancements in reproductive medicine yield much higher fertility rates among couples with infertility issues. The evaluation of an infertile couple demands a systematic approach in order to pinpoint a specific infertility disorder. Imaging plays a fundamental role in the evaluation of the infertile couple. Clinicians and radiologists involved in reproductive medicine must have a fundamental understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of various imaging modalities in order to be effective members of the reproductive healthcare community. In particular, knowing why a particular imaging modality is employed for a suspected infertility disorder and knowing when a particular imaging study should be performed is essential in the assessment of the infertile couple.
