Ultrasonography in Reproductive Medicine and Infertility

Description

Nowhere has the impact of ultrasonography been more dramatic than in reproductive medicine, particularly in the diagnosis of female and male infertility, the management of assisted reproductive procedures and the monitoring of early pregnancy. This authoritative textbook encompasses the complete role of ultrasonography in the evaluation of infertility and assisted reproduction. Covering every indication for ultrasonography in assisted reproductive technology, this will prove an invaluable resource in the evaluation of the infertile patient and optimization of the outcome of treatment. The interpretation of images to improve fertility and reproductive success is emphasized throughout. Ultrasonography in Reproductive Medicine and Infertility is essential reading for clinicians working both in IVF clinics and in office practice. It will be particularly useful to gynecologists, infertility specialists, ultrasonographers and radiologists working in reproductive endocrinology and infertility, assisted reproductive technology, ultrasonography and radiology.

• Covers every indication for ultrasonography in assisted reproductive technology, assisting in the evaluation of the IVF patient and helping to optimize the outcome of treatment
• Addresses each step from simple infertility evaluation to the most advanced procedures in assisted reproductive practice - the reader will understand the utilization of ultrasonography in monitoring patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology, oocyte retrieval and embryo transfer
• Content includes male infertility and topics such as the physics and ethics of ultrasonography
