In the infertility treatment, medical examinations using ultrasonic devices, which can diagnose the mother's body safely on real time, are major. It is very difficult to judge the existence of an ovum before carrying out the paracentesis. A system which can distinguish the existence of the ovum in the ovarian follicle using ultrasonic devices is required. In this paper, several features of the deformation of ovarian follicle are defined and extracted from the ultrasonic moving image in a paracentesis operation. These features are extracted from the ultrasonic moving image obtained at the time of an ovum extraction operation. We investigate whether some clusters according to the existence of the ovum are formed using the defined features. Moreover, we also investigate whether some tendency exists in these features by the existence of an ovum.
