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.
