History
The Reproductive Imaging Group was established in 2008 with the aim of helping to diagnose the causes of infertility and pregnancy monitoring with a focus on treatment and research and additional training of specialists.
Some of the clinical diagnostic activities of this group include: Vaginal ultrasound, Abdominal ultrasound, Three-dimensional ultrasound (3D), Four-dimensional ultrasound (4D), and sono doppler for men and women in order to determine and diagnose the causes of infertility and fetal abnormalities, hysterosonography in order to determine uterine abnormalities and intrauterine lesions as well as hysterosalpingography. This group of researchers focuses on conducting research projects related to male and female infertility. The goal is to improve specialized services offered to infertile couples in areas such as:
Ultrasound (vaginal, abdominal, three-dimensional, four-dimensional, Doppler for men and women in order to determine the diagnosis of the causes of infertility and fetal abnormalities)
Hystersonography to determine uterine abnormalities and intrauterine lesions
Hysterosalpingography (diagnosis of the state of the uterus and tubes)
Transrectal ultrasound to investigate congenital abnormalities of the prostate and seminal vesicles and diseases of the prostate and vas deferens and seminal vesicles
Helping to improve the scientific level and familiarization of radiology and ultrasound specialists in the field of infertility methods in order to spread the aforementioned knowledge in order to serve all parts of the country by conducting joint research projects with other research and academic centers of the country
