Novel application to evaluate endometrial blood flow using transvaginal superb microvascular imaging: A preliminary study describing physiological changes from ovulation to mid‐luteal phase
·doi:10.1111/aogs.14585

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to describe physiological changes in endometrial blood flow (minute arterioles running through the endometrium) from ovulation to the mid-luteal phase using superb microvascular imaging. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The stud…
