Fertilization and embryo development of oocytes obtained transvaginally under ultrasound guidance
Abstract
The widespread use of ultrasound for follicle development assessment and ovum pickup has raised concerns about the theoretical possibility of adverse effects on oocyte function. Studies in other species do not demonstrate any adverse effects when using sonic energies as those presently used in diagnostic ultrasound. However, no data are available concerning the effects of diagnostic ultrasound on human preovulatory oocytes. This study was …
