Zusammenfassung

Die sonografische Beurteilung der inneren Genitalorgane ist eine der Basisuntersuchungen im Rahmen der Infertilitätsdiagnostik. Neben der Feststellung des individuellen Hormonstatus ist eine detaillierte B-Bilddiagnostik zum Ausschluss von Uterusanomalien, Adnextumoren und anderen Auffälligkeiten des kleinen Beckens obligat. Darüber hinaus bietet die Beurteilung der Endometriumstärke und -textur, die Follikulometrie und die Dopplersonografie der uterinen und ovariellen Perfusion die Möglichkeit dar, anatomische Veränderungen der uterinen Feinstruktur erkennen bzw. Aussagen zur ovariellen Reserve treffen zu können – noch vor der Veranlassung weiterführender interventioneller (Hysterosalpingographie) und invasiver diagnostischer Maßnahmen (Laparoskopie mit Chromopertubation).
