title: Progress toward "in vivo virtual histology" of ovarian follicles and corpora lutea by ultrasound biomicroscopy.
abstract: High-frequency ultrasound imaging (40 MHz; ultrasound biomicroscopy) provides reliable ex vivo visualization of cellular components both in follicles and corpora lutea. In the near future and after logical technical evolution it may be useful for in vivo intraoperative evaluation of ovaries in large mammals and humans.
