In modern era of conservative therapies and minimal invasive surgeries, imaging plays an important role in diagnosis, treatment and determination of the prognosis of diseases. Male and female infertility are complex clinical conditions arising from variety of pathological conditions and diseases. Role of imaging in female infertility has been documented in variety of Medical literature but its clinical application has not been very aggressive. In this study, we aim to determine the role of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging in determining variety of causes of female infertility using hysterolaparoscopy as a gold standard.
