ABSTRACT
Can we imagine assisted reproductive technique (ART) today without imaging? Ultrasound has become the most widely used and important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of infertility. When a patient presents with the complaint of infertility, ultrasound evaluation is one of the fi rst steps in the evaluation of infertility. This initial ultrasound exam will immediately affect the management of the patient. It allows us to diagnose adnexal pathology such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometrioma, or other ovarian cysts, as well as hydrosalpinges. Measuring the antral follicle count (AFC) is one of the best predictors for estimating ovarian reserve. Congenital uterine anomalies, fi broids, as well as intracavitary abnormalities may be diagnosed in the uterus. When ART treatment begins, ultrasound is used in almost any interaction with the patients. This will be for monitoring of follicular development and endometrial response as well as ultrasound guidance for oocyte retrieval and embryo transfer (ET).
