• To highlight the continued importance of Hysterosalpingography (HSG) in clinical practice.
• To emphasize the diagnostic value of HSG in the work-up of fertility problems.
• To underscore the role of technique and interpretation in maximizing HSG accuracy.

Main Methods:

• Review of current clinical practices utilizing Hysterosalpingography.
• Analysis of diagnostic accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility of HSG.
• Emphasis on procedural technique and image interpretation.

Main Results:

• Hysterosalpingography offers crucial insights into the endometrial cavity and fallopian tubes.
• HSG demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility.
• Proper technique and interpretation are vital for precise results.

Conclusions:

• Hysterosalpingography remains a valuable and widely used diagnostic tool for infertility.
• Its effectiveness is enhanced by meticulous technique and expert image interpretation.
• HSG plays a critical role in the comprehensive evaluation of patients with fertility concerns.
