Sonography in nongravid female macaques allows assessment of normal reproductive anatomy and pathology, identifies animals with reduced reproductive potential, and aids in disease modeling.

Abstract

Sonographic monitoring of the reproductive tract in the nongravid female macaque provides a means for assessing normal anatomy and pathologic change involving the uterus and adnexal structures. Animals with reduced reproductive potential can be identified and diagnoses frequently confirmed with the use of ultrasound‐guided aspiration/biopsy. The importance of these observations is twofold: (1) for the maintenance of a healthy reproductive colony, and (2) as a means of identifying animals for use as models for human health problems, such as endometriosis.
