Abstract

To assess role of MRI in detecting female infertility.
Materials & Methods:Eighty- six women age ranged 20- 40 years were included in the
study. All underwent MRI using 1.5 Tesla unit equipped with a 32 phased-array surface
coil. Causes of female infertility was recorded.
Results: Age group 20-30 years comprised of 50 and 31-40 years had 36 patients. Various
causes of female infertility was PCOS in 12, tubal disease in 18, pelvic inflammatory
disease in 10, endometriosis in 8, leiomyoma in 6, adenomyosis in 12 and endometrial
polyps in 20 cases. A significant difference was observed (P< 0.05).
Conclusion: MRI is an excellent non-invasive, radiation-free modality for the evaluation
of female infertility; its superior soft-tissue contrast resolution and multiplanar evaluation
generate exquisite anatomical details.
