About

The aim of the study to evaluate Five-Dimensional Ultrasound in automated measurement of ovarian follicles with controlled ovarian stimulation in contrast to the conventional 2D ultrasound

Full description

This is a Prospective pilot study that will be performed at the Fetal Care Unit at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital.

full history taking including patient's age, parity,last menstrual period , past history of medical disorders, clinical examinations (General and abdominal).

Two-Dimensional Ultrasound and Five-Dimensional Ultrasound will be done for all cases for assessment of ovarian follicles after controlled ovarian stimulation by clomid 50 mg5×2×1 The automated software allows for automated three-dimensional follicular measurement.The software then analyzes the volume and automatically identifies all of the follicles in the ovary. The software also automatically generates several volumetric parameters of each and every identified follicle.

Enrollment: 67 patients
