ABSTRACT
The method used for the assessment of ovarian function, is noninvasive with a high degree of acceptability by the patients and supplying the clinician with readily accessible information. In this study 42 infertile women were studied by ultrasound and hormonal assays for luteinizing hormone, progesterone and estradiol. Ovulation was detected in 71% by ultrasound in all women studied which was comparable to hormonal evidence of ovulation. However, ultrasound was superior to any of the hormones used for the diagnosis of ovulation. In addition to diagnosis and prediction of ovulation, ultrasound was capable of diagnosing other pathological conditions, like polycystic ovary syndrome, luteinized unruptured follicles, small fibroids and hydrosalpinx
