Self Monitoring Device Fortrasvaginal Ultrasound in Reproduction
- Conditions
- Self-Evaluation
- Interventions
- Device: SMD ( Self Monitoring Device)
- Registration Number
- NCT05180019
- Lead Sponsor
- IVI Bilbao
- Brief Summary
Serial ultrasound (US) examinations are performed to assess the number and size of follicles during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS). Ovarian folliculometry during COS is the most frequent ultrasound procedure daily performed, an also a highly time consuming and reiterative process.
However, it has been shown that manual measurement of follicles with 2D US is often inaccurate and subject to significant intra- and interobserver variability
In addition, a follicle is a three-dimensional (3D) structure and its volume is the most accurate measure of its size. Therefore, 3D transvaginal ultrasound in gynaecology and reproductive medicine has supposed a great advance, because it makes possible to obtain ovarian volumes during controlled ovarian stimulation
- Detailed Description
At each visit, IVIRMA Bilbao doctors (MF, CF) will perform routine folliculometry to the patients (standard 2D manual ultrasound) to control the ovarian stimulation. In this exam, follicles will be counted and measured (mean diameter) in millimeters, as usual clinical practice,
After the standard folliculometry, will request the patient for self-performing scan (3Dultrasound)
After each patient self-capture, IVIRMA Bilbao gynaecologists will check the saved volume (3D multiplanar mode) using ITKSnap viewer to ensure the correct acquisition saving (complete ovaries and uterus captured inside without artifacts) in order to compare 2D ultrasound (clinical reference) for number and mean follicle diameter estimations, with 3D multiplanar ultrasound (obtained with SMD) GMDN (Global Medical Device Nomenclature): 40761

- Study Design
- Not specified
- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description Patient COS IVI Bilbao SMD ( Self Monitoring Device) Patients will come to the IVIRMA Bilbao clinic to start their respective ART cycles (vitrification, IVF/ICSI, donors) following usual clinical practice.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method SMD validation for clinical use Three months After the standard folliculometry, will request the patient for self-performing scan (3D ultrasound)
Determination of the risks during use SMD Three months Patients will have phone connection to call the nurse if any problems happen or when they finish the scan.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Patient's perception as a user of the SMD Three months To know the patient's perception as a user of the SMD by means of a satisfaction questionnaire
To recopilate the pelvic ultrasound volumes Three months To recopilate the pelvic ultrasound volumes (uterus and ovaries inside) during COS exams for posterior development of an automated segmentation system (of the uterus and the ovaries) in the context of a next project, conditioned to the obtention of satisfactory outcomes after the finalization of the present study.
