Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic imaging
  • Reproductive medicine

Background:

  • Hysterosalpingography (HSG) and saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) are crucial for evaluating uterine cavity and fallopian tube patency.
  • Optimizing these procedures can improve diagnostic accuracy and patient experience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and detail the examination techniques for hysterosalpingography and saline infusion sonohysterography.
  • To provide practical recommendations for enhancing physician performance.
  • To offer strategies for minimizing patient discomfort during these gynecologic imaging procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and established protocols for HSG and SIS.
  • Analysis of factors influencing image quality and diagnostic yield.
  • Compilation of best practices for patient preparation and procedural execution.
