Figure 1 ROC curve of the number of UCs per minute for predicting clinical pregnancy after IUI. Fertility and Sterility 2017 107, 961-968.e3DOI: (10.1016/j.fertnstert.2017.02.002) Copyright © 2017 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions
Figure 2 ROC curve of the myometrium elasticity index for predicting clinical pregnancy after IUI. Fertility and Sterility 2017 107, 961-968.e3DOI: (10.1016/j.fertnstert.2017.02.002) Copyright © 2017 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions
Supplemental Figure 1 Measurement of the elasticity index over time. Note the subendometrial position of the measurement sensor in the myometrium, whereas the control sensor is placed in the endometrium. The ratio of these two values was computed over the 5 minutes of the ultrasound recording and defined the myometrium elasticity index.

Supplemental Figure 2 Progression of subendometrial induration by elastrography concomitant with UC. The white arrows frame the contraction front, which progresses from the cervix to the fundus (i.e., in anterograde direction). Note the blue area, characterizing an induration of the subendometrial myometrium, whereas the corresponding endometrium, colored in red, remains soft.
