The aim of this article was to present the extent to which the state-of-the art ultrasonographic imaging can be used to visualize the features of the human corpus luteum (CL). In the late 1970s, the first ultrasonographic images of human CLs were published. The advent of transvaginal, high-resolution transducers has greatly improved the quality of imaging as did the subsequent introduction of color Doppler and 3D ultrasonography. In the present technical note, the examples of the various technical and imaging modalities used to examine the human CLs are shown. CL is a short-lived structure with a highly variable morphological appearance and the 3D ultrasonographic technique is an ideal tool to perform standardized measurements on the CL. The introduction of new imaging techniques in clinical reproductive medicine can only be successful if operators are properly trained.
本文的目的是阐述先进的超声成像技术在多大程度上可用于可视化人类黄体（CL）的特征。20世纪70年代末，人类黄体的首批超声图像得以发表。经阴道高分辨率换能器的出现极大地提高了成像质量，随后彩色多普勒和三维超声检查的引入亦是如此。在本技术说明中，展示了用于检查人类黄体的各种技术和成像方式的示例。黄体是一种寿命短暂的结构，其形态外观高度可变，而三维超声技术是对黄体进行标准化测量的理想工具。只有操作人员得到妥善培训，临床生殖医学中新成像技术的引入才能成功。
