Background:Approximately 10% of married couples experience infertility. The effects are similar for both sexes. The present study assessed the role of MRI in detection of female infertility. Materials & Methods:62 women aged 18- 37 years of infertility were enrolled and a comprehensive evaluation of the pelvis was performed. All were subjected to MRI. Results:The age group 18-27 years had 32 and 28-37 years had 30 patients. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Causes of female infertility was tubal disease in 12, leiomyoma in 5, pelvic inflammatory disease in 13, endometriosis in 8, PCOS in 7, adenomyosis in 2 and endometrial polyps in 10 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion:Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent non-invasive, radiation-free method for assessing female infertility because of its better soft-tissue contrast resolution and multiplanar evaluation, which yield precise anatomical features.
