Imagingtechniquesare constantly advancingandprovideenhancedvisualisation offcmale and male reproductive systems. Technological sophistication allows studyof both the anatomyand function of the organs involvedand has opened many new areas to clinicaland researchactivitiesin human reproduction. This book of imaging in infertility and reproductive endocrinology by 42 contributors has very successfully highlighted the state-of-art tcchnology available. The authors have standardized the chaptersfor easier reading and better comprehension. The book describes in words and illustrations the many applications of imaging in infertility and reproductive endocrinology. Chapters I to 14 describe the application of ultrasonography in the

evaluation of female pelvic anatomy and pathology, endometrial patterns. normal and aberrant ovulation. luteogenesis, and oviduct anatomy and physiology. Oocyte retrieval and tubal catheterization have been well described. Conventional and doppler ultrasonography in the evaluation of male infertility, magnetic resonance imaging of normal and abnormal pelvic anatomy, computed tomography of normaland abnormal maleand female pelvic anatomy and hysterosalpingography are well explained. Role of ultrasonography in I st trimester pregnancy and future trends in the field of imaging are amply dealt with in last chapters. This comprehensive text on application of imaging techniques in diagnosisand treatment of infertile couples will serve as a reference book for all those who are involved inthisextensiveand expansive fieldand want to improve patientcare, whether as students,cliniciansor as researchers.
