Ultrasound as a diagnostic and operative tool for in vitro fertilization and embryo replacement (IVF/ER) programs
Abstract:
Diagnostic ultrasound offers unique possibilities to study ovarian morphology, especially follicular growth and development. This makes the technique an important tool for the management of ovulation induction in an in vitro fertilization and embryo replacement (IVF/ER) program. Different general aspects of the use of ultrasound in IVF/ER are discussed in this communication.

Ultrasonography
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.

In Vitro Fertilization
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...
