Ultrasonographic Identification of Polycystic Ovary

Abstract

Abstract Eleven patients with clinical findings of suspected polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) were examined using real‐time ultrasound. The ovarian area of PCOS (average value 488 ± 183 mm 2 ) was larger than that of patients without PCOS (average value 184 ± 66 mm 2 ) (P>0.001). Ovarian structures in those with PCOS were evident in the form of peripheral or general cystic patterns on the ultrasonograms. Ultrasonography proved to be a pertinent diagnostic tool for a non‐invasive diagnosis of PCOS.
