“…Estimated interobserver and intraobserver variability for each of the five separate studies was less than 10%, which was consistent with previous studies (55). The accuracy and consistency among users of high-resolution ultrasonography for the identification and measurement of ovarian follicles has been previously documented in women (55,56) and using animal models (57).…”

“…After the introduction of TV scanning method many investigators concentrated on the accuracy of assessment of follicular dynamics [7][8][9]. A good number of studies were done later comparing transabdominal (TA) and transvaginal (TV) methods of studying the pelvic organs [10][11][12][13]. TVS is still to achieve momentum in India mainly due to (i) non availability of TV probes, (ii) ignorance/reluctance of the referring physicians (iii) lack of adequate knowledge of TVS and altered anatomical orientation.…”

“…Evidences also suggest that transabdominal methods underestimates the number of follicles than does TVS. TV ultrasound measurement of follicular size has lower intra and inter observer variability [12]. Yee et al [14] and Musoles et al [15] have demonstrated that TV scanning methods showed a higher correlation between follicular diameter and follicular fluid volume as compared to the TAS method.…”

Transabdominal sonography (TAS) and Transvaginal sonography (TVS) were compared for follicular monitoring in 73 patients of infertility. These patients were referred for follicular monitoring in normal and stimulated cycles from infertility clinic. Patient compliance and acceptance was excellent for TVS technique as compared to TAS technique. The overall resolution of ovarian and follicular anatomy was much better in TVS. With TAS only 35.6% had good visualisation of follicles as compared to 80.8% (p<0.05) in TVS. TVS olTered advantage of much better detection rate of smaller follicles (<10mm) and higher accuracy in assessing number of follicles.

“…Grâce [7] ; les mesures en échographie endovaginale sont similaires à celles obtenues par l'échographie sus-pubienne [35] ; la mesure du diamètre la plus fiable est celle de la moyenne des deux plus grands diamètres orthogonaux [31] ; le diamètre moyen du follicule a une bonne corrélation avec le volume folliculaire dans les formes rondes. Mais cette corrélation n'est plus exacte lorsque la forme du follicule est ellipsoïde ou irrégulière [33] ; la reproductibilité de la mesure du diamètre en cycle monofolliculaire est assez médiocre.…”
