Abstract
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 po sition of the rip of the catheter in the uterine cavity quickly enough in m ost 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 compl ications.
