Dynamics of folliculogenesis–sonographic assessment and applications in infertility management
Monica Kansal

T
rans-vaginal sonography along with colour Doppler is the gold standard investigation in assessment of gynaecological and
reproductive disorders in females. Besides exclusion of uterine, endometrial and tubal causes, sonography provides non-
invasive tool for monitoring individual follicles during menstrual cycle and response to ovarian stimulation. This paper describes
various uses of ultrasound in assisted reproductive techniques as the principal non-invasive modality for evaluation of key process
of ovarian function – the process of folliculogenesis. Folliculogenesis refers to all phases that a primordial germ cell should pass to
become mature healthy oocyte that is subsequently fertilized. It is a constant process that starts in embryogenic period and ends with
the disappearance of last functional follicle in the period of menopause. Recognising the quality of follicle, its growth pattern and
vascularity has a prognostic value for outcome of assisted reproduction techniques.
