(Top) Color Doppler TA ultrasound shows an inactive ovary. The ovary demonstrates a hilar artery surrounded by small developing
follicles in the early follicular phase. Note the nondominant ovary may show similar appearance as an inactive ovary. (Middle)
Longitudinal TV ultrasound of the ovary in the early luteal phase is shown. A corpus luteum with low-level internal echoes is seen
following ovulation. The wall of the corpus luteum usually displays the most intense color pattern. (Bottom) Transverse TV ultrasound
in midluteal phase is shown. The ovary shows a regressing corpus luteum with typical peripheral color Doppler vascularity.
