Ultrasonographically diagnosed dermoid cysts do not influence ovarian stimulation response in an fertilization cycle.

To determine if patients with a DC respond similarly to ovarian stimulation when compared to patients without a DC. Infertility patients with a DC that underwent IVF between January 2009 and December 2016 were included. A cystic mass with mixed echogenicity, internal echoes similar to thick bands, fatty-fluid level, or an echogenic tubercle with acoustic shadow (Rokitansky nodule) within two years of the cycle characterized the diagnosis.

Reproducibility of the International Endometrial Analysis Group Color Score for Assigning the Amount of Flow Within the Endometrium Using Stored 3-Dimensional Volumes.

Objectives: To estimate intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility for assigning an International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) group color score for endometrial vascularization on color Doppler imaging.

Methods: Sixty-eight endometrial 3-dimensional volumes from endometrial color Doppler assessments of women with different endometrial disorders were evaluated by 8 different examiners (4 skilled examiners and 4 obstetric and gynecologic trainees). One skilled examiner who did not participate in the assessments selected the 68 volumes from a database to select a balanced number of each IETA score.

A Simple Method for Excluding Uterine Canalization Defects Using Two-Dimensional Ultrasound in Infertile Women.

Objective: To compare the uterine transverse diameter (UTD) in women with normal uteri and women with uterine canalization defects as well as to assess its performance for ruling out such defects.

Study Design: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data in a series of selected women with primary or secondary infertility. Measurement of UTD and 3D volume acquisition for subsequent off-line analysis was performed in order to identify possible canalization defects.

Malignancy risk of sonographically benign appearing purely solid adnexal masses in asymptomatic postmenopausal women.

Objective: To assess the natural history of benign appearing purely solid ovarian lesions in asymptomatic postmenopausal women.

Methods: Retrospective observational cohort study comprising 99 women (mean age, 58.2 years, ranging from 50 to 77 years) diagnosed as having a purely solid ovarian lesion at transvaginal ultrasound between April 2001 and October 2015.

Clinical and ultrasound features of benign, borderline, and malignant invasive mucinous ovarian tumors.

Objective: To compare clinical and sonographic features of benign, borderline, and malignant invasive mucinous ovarian tumors (MOTs).

Materials And Methods: Retrospective observational multicenter study comprising 365 women (mean age: 46.1 years) with a histologically confirmed benign, borderline or malignant invasive MOT.
