Ultrasonic screening in predicting the time of ovulation.
A consistent sign of imminent ovulation in the graafian follicle has been observed by ultrasonic screening. The sign is the appearance of a double contour along the follicle wall, with the wall losing its clear appearance. This is an important sign which can be used in all programs in which the exact timing of ovulation is important, in order to receive the best possible results in treatment of infertility.
