摘要
Objective To examine the feasibility of using dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) guidance in embryo transfer (ET) procedures. Methods Seventy-five ETs were performed using a 3D US scanner to locate the catheter tip in the uterine cavity. Results and conclusion Three-dimensional ultrasound could show the exact position of the rip of the catheter in the uterine cavity quickly enough in most cases. It should he used in ET for seeking an optimal transfer area in the uterine cavity to assist in achieving high success rates and less complications.
