BACKGROUND: This study compared the predictive value of the antral follicle count (AFC) measured from stored 3D data by three methods including a ‘2D equivalent technique’ and two 3D techniques, the ‘multiplanar view’ and ‘rendered inversion mode’, as a test of ovarian reserve and treatment outcome. METHODS: One hundred consecutive subjects aged
