Core Tip
Core Tip: Endometrial peristalsis analysis (EmPA) is the first automated and quantitative technique applied in the ultrasound system to detect and analyze endometrial peristalsis (EmP) features. In this study, EmPA technique was used to analyze EmP accurately and evaluate the changes of EmP associated with menstrual cycle and other factors such as uterine position and age.
