TLDR Training improves consistency in evaluating polycystic ovaries with ultrasound.
A study from 2008 found that the reliability of evaluating ultrasonographic features of polycystic ovaries improved significantly after participants attended a training workshop. The study suggested that if ultrasonographic evidence is to be used as an objective measure for diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), standardized training modules should be implemented to ensure a unified approach in assessing polycystic ovarian morphology.
