Ultrasound Assessment of Endometrial Receptivity in in vitro Fertilization Treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ultrasonography of the endometrium is a noninvasive way to evaluate the chance of successful implantation during in vitro fertilization treatment. Ultrasound parameters of endometrial receptivity include endometrial thickness, endometrial pattern, endometrial volume, Doppler studies of uterine vessels and the endometrium. Endometrial thickness, pattern and volume are not predictive of pregnancy. A good blood supply towards the endometrium is usually considered to be an essential requirement for implantation. Doppler study of uterine arteries does not reflect the actual blood flow to the endometrium. Endometrial and subendometrial vascularity can be more objectively measured with three-dimensional power Doppler ultrasound. However, the role of endometrial and subendometrial vascularity in predicting pregnancy of in vitro fertilization treatment remains controversial.

I-45: Color Doppler Sonography of Endometrium in Infertility Patients
Background Endometrial receptivity is one of parameters which determine the reproductive outcome in in vitro fertilization programs. A good blood supply towards the endometrium is usually considered to be an essential requirement for implantation. Blood vessels of the endometrium can be detected by transvaginal color and pulse Doppler sonography. Color Doppler assessment permits better visualiz...
متن کاملAssessment of endometrial volume by three-dimensional ultrasound prior to embryo transfer: clues to endometrial receptivity.
The aim of the present prospective study was to obtain quantitative data on endometrial volume by three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound at the time of embryo transfer in an in-vitro fertilization programme and to assess its value in predicting endometrial receptivity. The cycles (n = 72) were classified according to endometrial volume: group A <2 ml, group B 2-4 ml, and group C >4 ml. Comparisons o...

Embryo implantation represents the most critical step of the reproductive process in many species. Inadequate uterine receptivity is responsible for approximately two-thirds of implantation failures. The cell adhesion molecule (CAM) such as integrins, cadherins, selectins and immunoglobulins intervene to ensure adhesiveness between the embryo and the endometrium. Some recent studies indicate th...
متن کاملHysteroscopic Subendometrial Embryo Delivery (SEED), Mechanical Embryo Implantation
Background A major hurdle to improved in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rate is defective endometrial receptivity and implantation. Various techniques have been advocated to increase implantation while reducing side effects. Currently, embryo transfer (ET) is performed blindly without direct visualization. As such, we sought to develop a technique utilizing a flexible minihysteroscope with a...
