In vitro fertilization: sonographic perspective.

    Summary

    Sonography is valuable in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, detecting abnormalities and monitoring follicle growth. Ultrasound helps identify reasons for cycle cancellation, including poor follicle development or premature ovulation.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Medical Imaging
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • In vitro fertilization (IVF) involves complex protocols requiring precise monitoring.
    • Sonography, or ultrasound, is a key imaging modality in reproductive endocrinology.
    • Assessing adnexal health and follicular dynamics is crucial for IVF success.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic and monitoring applications of sonography in IVF cycles.
    • To determine the incidence of adnexal abnormalities detected by baseline sonography.
    • To assess the role of serial sonograms in monitoring follicular development and preventing cycle cancellation.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 220 patients undergoing 354 IVF cycles.
    • Baseline sonograms for adnexal abnormalities assessment.
    • Serial sonograms for monitoring follicular development and ovulation.

    Main Results:

    • Baseline sonography identified adnexal abnormalities in 10.7% of cycles.
    • Ultrasound monitoring revealed inadequate follicle growth progression in 18.4% of cycles, leading to cancellation.
    • Development of a single lead follicle caused cancellation in 9% of cycles.
    • Sonographic correlation was necessary in 6% of cycles due to spontaneous luteinizing hormone surges indicating potential ovulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Sonography is essential for identifying baseline adnexal abnormalities in IVF patients.
    • Serial sonographic monitoring is critical for assessing follicular development and optimizing IVF outcomes.
    • Ultrasound plays a vital role in identifying reasons for IVF cycle cancellation, enabling timely intervention.
