Description

Sonography, also known as ultrasound imaging, is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of the inside of the body. It is commonly used in various medical fields, including obstetrics and gynecology. Follicular study, also known as follicle tracking or ovarian monitoring, is a specific application of sonography used in reproductive medicine. It involves monitoring the development and release of ovarian follicles in the ovaries during a woman's menstrual cycle. During a follicular study, a series of ultrasound scans are performed at different times throughout the menstrual cycle to track the growth and maturation of the ovarian follicles. These scans help assess the size, number, and quality of the developing follicles. The process typically starts on the second or third day of the menstrual cycle and continues until the dominant follicle is ready for ovulation.
