Judy Adams is Staff Ultrasonographer with the Reproductive Endocrine Associates at Massachusetts General Hospital and is an internationally recognized expert in pelvic ultrasonography. She received her Diploma in Medical Ultrasound from the Royal College of Radiographers in London, U.K. and was the Chief Ultrasonographer in the Department of of Radiology and Imaging of The Middlesex Hospital in London for seven years prior to joining the Reproductive Endocrine Unit in 1987.

Ms. Adams is the focal point of our in-house ultrasound program, which is critical to our efforts in providing safe, effective ovulation induction to women suffering from anovulatory infertility. In addition to playing an essential role in the ovulation induction program, Ms. Adams assists in the diagnosis and management of our patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome, menstrual cycle abnormalities, premature menopause, hypothalamic amenorrhea and menopause.

She also participates in a variety of ongoing research protocols of the Unit. Her main research interest is in polycystic ovarian syndrome, and her publications from the mid-eighties established the "Adams" criteria for the ultrasound diagnosis of the condition. Due to her international reputation, she is also a widely sought expert for ultrasonography of complex pediatric endocrine cases--including precocious and delayed puberty, chromosomal disorders, and intersex disorders.
