Three-dimensional dynamic MR hysterosalpingography (3D MR HSG) is a feasible method for visualizing the uterus and fallopian tubes. This technique shows potential as a radiation-free alternative to conventional hysterosalpingography.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Gynecologic Imaging
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Conventional hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a standard imaging technique for evaluating infertility.
  • There is a need for alternative methods that offer better visualization and avoid ionizing radiation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of three-dimensional dynamic MR hysterosalpingography (3D MR HSG) for visualizing the uterine cavity and fallopian tube patency.
  • To explore 3D MR HSG as a potential alternative to conventional HSG.

Main Methods:

  • Five infertile female patients underwent 3D dynamic MR HSG using a diluted gadolinium solution and a balloon catheter.
  • MR imaging included T1-weighted SE, T2-weighted FSE, and 3D MR angiography sequences.
  • Conventional HSG was performed subsequently for comparison.

Main Results:

  • Catheter placement was feasible in all patients, with optimal positioning in three.
  • Pelvic anatomy, myometrium, and ovaries were well visualized in all patients.
  • Three-dimensional visualization of the uterine cavity and bilateral fallopian tube patency was achieved in four patients, confirmed by conventional HSG.

Conclusions:

  • Three-dimensional dynamic MR HSG is a feasible imaging technique for evaluating the uterus and fallopian tubes.
  • This method offers potential advantages over conventional HSG, including no radiation exposure and enhanced visualization of pelvic structures.
