Pez et al, began tracking the growth of follicles by ultrasound. They showed an appreciable relationship between the echographic and laparoscopic observations (Pez JP, Cohen J et al. 1979 Recherche d’une concordance entre l’e´chographie et l’observation par coelioscopie des follicules stimule´s par les inducteurs de l’ovulation. 178 soire´e gyne´co-obstricale de St Maurice le 9.10.79. Milupa. Bagnolet).

The first published use of ultrasound to identify growing follicles (Hackeloer BJ, 1977, The ultrasonic demonstration of follicular development during the normal menstrual cycle and after hormone stimulation. In Kurjak A (ed) Recent Advances in Ultrasound Diagnosis. Excerpta Medica, Amsterdam-Oxford, pp 122 – 128).
