Quantifying Uterine Elastography in Menstruating Women

Characterizing Uterine and Ovarian Tissue Stiffness Via Shear Wave Elastography in Non-Infertile, Fertile, and Infertile Women with Normal Anatomy Across the Menstrual Cycle: a Pilot Study

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 40 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey · Academic / Other
• Sex: Female
• Age: 18 Years – 45 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

This study is aiming to characterize the elasticity of the female reproductive tract including the uterus, cervix and ovary using shear wave elastography at different times during the menstrual cycle and define the standard reference range of normal uterine and ovarian elasticity. By doing so, the potential of using shear wave elastography to diagnose and predict outcomes for patients seeking fertility treatment might be established.

Conditions
