“…There has been reports about application in relation to assessment of uterine and perifollicular vascularity [16][17][18] and outcome of IVF. Similar application were reported of perifollicular vascularity and uterine perfusion and outcome of intrauterine insemination (IUI) [19][20][21] .…”

Color Doppler is emerging as a valuable diagnostic imaging modality in the field of medicine, primarily infertility. Reproductive disorders, including infertility and spontaneous abortions/miscarriages, have emerged as major public health problem(s) worldwide. Color Doppler energy imaging is a high throughput technology based on the total integral of energy frequency spectrum. Color Doppler is a high-throughput, sophisticated imaging technique for the assessment of uterine anomalies, intrauterine pathology, tubal patency, polycystic ovaries, ovarian follicular monitoring, endometrial receptivity, failed or an ectopic pregnancy, male infertility and uterine, endometrial and ovarian vascularity. Assessments of the utero-ovarian pulsatility indices (PIs), resistance indices (RIs), and endometrial color signals are important determinants of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles and pregnancy rates. With many clinical/scientific research experience in the field of reproductive medicine, I strongly believe that an overall public health model needs to be designed in managing infertility patients; therefore, major issues such as cost effectiveness and technical artifacts should address so as to achieve an accurate clinical diagnosis, successful IVF outcome/pregnancy, and overall patient satisfaction in a clinical rehearse setting. Simple, safe efficient and affordable diagnostic modalities should be incorporated at infertility clinics coupled with well-designed patient counseling sessions and community-based public health awareness campaigns conducted so as to reduce the morbidity and mortality rates associated with reproductive disorders.Three dimension (3-D) ultrasound is a new imaging modality which is being introduced into clinical practice. It has been proved that 3-D ultrasound is a very highly reproducible technique. With 3-D ultrasound, a volume of a region of interest can be acquired and stored. This volume can be further analyzed in several ways, such as navigation, multiplanar display and surface rendering or volume calculation. Power Doppler ultrasound, in combination with 3-D ultrasound, allows for a whole assessment of relevant vessels and quantitative assessment of vessel density and perfusion within a specified area.

“…A prospective study of IUI cycles conducted by Tsai et al [23] aimed to investigate the prognostic value of uterine perfusion. These researchers measured the PI of the ascending branch of the uterine arteries on the day of hCG administration and found that no pregnancies occurred when the PI exceeded 3.…”

“…6,9 Because increased uterine artery pulsatility index (PI) has been reported in infertile couples and has been linked to reduced chances of conception when using assisted reproductive techniques, pathologic uterine perfusion is suggested to contribute to reduced success of conceiving and an increased risk of miscarriage in PCOS. [10][11][12] Women with PCOS present significant differences in intraovarian and uterine artery hemodynamics compared with women with normal ovaries. 8,[13][14][15][16][17][18] The aim of the present study was to evaluate the inherent changes in vascular blood flow patterns of uterine and ovarian vessels in PCOS and to assess their relationship with clinical, metabolic, and endocrine findings.…”
