From: The use of real time strain endometrial elastosonography plus endometrial thickness and vascularization flow index to predict endometrial receptivity in IVF treatments: a pilot study

Fig. 1

The ultrasound examination protocol: (A) B mode US shows a normal anteverted uterus with endometrial thickness of 7.3 mm. (B) Endometrial elastosonography and strain ratio (Z2/Z1) calculation in a sagittal plane: endometrium (Z1), adjacent myometrium (Z2). The strain rate (SR) is calculated automatically by the software. SR = 0.58. (C) Endometrial Volume (EV) and 3D Power Doppler vascularity indices are calculated automatically after a manually reconstruction using the Virtual Organ Computer-aided Analysis (VOCAL) software (XVRA ™, Esaote, Italy). Endometrial volume = 2.6ml, VI = 5.823%, FI = 18.6, VFI = 3.3
