Achieve Higher Pregnancy Rates
and Enhance Your Clinic's Reputation.
Upgrade to 3D/4D Sonography and the Maximal Implantation Potential Point Technique.

October, 2008

Dear IVF Physician:

I am Dr. Robert Gergely, inventor of the patented 3D/4D Ultrasound- Guided Embryo Transfer using the Maximal Implantation Potential Point (MIP)1.

As you may have read in Fertility and Sterility2, or seen at the 2007 ASRM annual meeting3, the MIP technique is proven to increase the success rate of pregnancies by more than 10%. And it works with any brand of 3D/4D ultrasound equipment.

The MIP point represents the location where the potential for successful embryo implantation is optimal. I myself have guided more than 6,000 embryo transfers with this technique at a major IVF center in Beverly Hills. Using 3D/4D Sonography and the MIP point as an optimal target for embryo placement, we achieved a 10.04% increase in overall pregnancy rate.

The MIP technique eliminates the "guessing game" over the optimal point for embryo placement. It overcomes the limitations inherent in 2D Sonography, which suffers from uncertainty and inaccuracy in embryo placement. Using 3D/4D Sonography to target the MIP point improves accuracy and precision, resulting in an increased pregnancy rate.

The MIP technique also reassures you (and your patient) that the transferred embryo is placed in the optimal spot in real time. The current demands for single embryo transfer make improved precision essential. Using 3D/4D guided embryo transfer targeting the MIP point can increase your success rate with your patients.

Bringing the MIP technique to your clinic is a great benefit to your patients. It also adds a significant competitive advantage to the reputation of your practice.

Your ultrasound sales representative can inform you about 3D/4D equipment options. Meanwhile, please view our short video (3 min) that will show you in principle how the MIP technique works. You can also find it along with the references listed below and at http://www.3dsono.com.

If you would like to discuss 3D/4D guided embryo transfer and the higher pregnancy rates possible with MIP, I would be happy to answer questions about incorporating this innovation into your own practice.

Best regards,


Robert Gergely M.D.
