Objective: To evaluate uterine artery blood flow using pulsed Doppler, and endometrial and subendometrial microvascularization using three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler, in women with unexplained infertility.

Study Design: In a prospective clinical trial at a university teaching hospital, 40 women with unexplained infertility were compared to 40 fertile parous controls. In the mid-luteal (peri-implantation) phase, the endometrial thickness and volume, uterine artery pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI), endometrial and subendometrial 3D power Doppler vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI), and vascularization flow index (VFI), and serum estradiol and progesterone levels were measured in both groups.

Objective: To evaluate endometrial and subendometrial microvascularization, using three-dimensional (3D) power Doppler ultrasound, in women with intrauterine device (IUD)-induced menorrhagia; and whether those potential findings could predict the risk of bleeding before IUD insertion.

Design: Prospective clinical trial.

Setting: University teaching hospital.
