Ultrasound imaging in the management of ovulation stimulation.
The present role of ultrasound imaging in the assessment of ovarian response to gonadotrophin therapy was assessed by comparing a group of patients in whom ultrasound was used to determine suitability of follicles for induction of ovulation with a group in whom ultrasound was not available. Ultrasound provides new and useful information, and may allow a reduction in the incidence of multiple pregnancies.
