The process of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) has gained worldwide attention since the birth of the first "test-tube baby" in 1978. Many couples with a history of infertility have elected to undergo this procedure. This article examines the process of IVF/ET and the role of ultrasound in monitoring follicular growth and in the retrieval of the oocytes by laparoscopy or sonographically guided transvesical or transvaginal needle aspiration.

Key Words: ultrasound • in vitro fertilization • embryo transfer • follicle • oocyte • transvesical • transvaginal • needle aspiration
