Summary

Assisted reproductive treatment (ART) has become the only hope for biologically own children for numerous infertile couples. It is estimated that 1.7–4.0 per cent of children born in developed countries are the result of assisted conception . As a minimally invasive diagnostic tool, ultrasound is used readily throughout ART – starting with the pre-treatment assessment of pelvic organs, through cycle monitoring, oocyte collection and embryo replacement, to diagnosis of complications and outcome monitoring.
