Recent advances in reproductive medicine have created a demand for more accurate and safe imaging modalities before assisted reproductive treatment(ART) (1). Gradually, the important role of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography in the diagnosis of uterine congenital anomalies has been proved (2-4).

Background In vitro fertilization (IVF) and intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) are recognized as established and increasingly successful forms of treatment for infertility, yet significant numbers of couples discontinue treatment without achieving a live birth. This study aims to identify major factors that influence the decision to discontinue IVF/ICSI treatments. MaterialsAndMethods We ...

Introduction: A favorable endometrium is the essential requirement for implantation. The aim of this study was to determine the predictive value of endometrial power Doppler ultrasonographic parameters in predicting the success of implantation in patients undergoing IVF and ICSI cycles. Methods: Seventy three patients aged<38 years with basal serum FSH level<12 , who had not more than two faile...

cumulative embryo score (ces) is one of the many embryo scoring methods which have been developed to help clinicians to transfer high quality embryos and predict pregnancy rate in assisted reproductive techniques (art) cycles. regarding the existing difference in ces calculation this study was done to compare two methods in order to determine the more practical and preferable one. in a retrospe...
