Automated measurements of follicle diameter: a chance to standardize?

Abstract

This study describes the use of an automated measurement of follicular diameter using the new Sono-Automatic Volume Calculation (Sono-AVC) software and compares the accuracy of automated measures and the time taken for such measures to those made manually from two-dimensional and three-dimensional ultrasound. Sono-AVC provides measurements of follicular diameter that are more accurate than the manual measures and has the potential to improve the clinical work flow because the time taken for the measurements is significantly shorter.
