Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Hysteroscopy and hysterography are diagnostic procedures for evaluating the uterine cavity.
  • Each technique offers distinct advantages and limitations in visualizing intrauterine pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the diagnostic accuracy and utility of hysteroscopy versus hysterography for uterine cavity assessment.
  • To establish guidelines for the optimal use of each imaging modality.

Main Methods:

  • Hysteroscopy allows direct visualization of intrauterine abnormalities.
  • Hysterography utilizes contrast media to delineate lesions and partitions within the uterine cavity.

Main Results:

  • Hysteroscopy excels in diagnosing intraluminal abnormalities such as polyps, myomas, and hyperplasia.

  • Hysterography is superior for detecting myometrial penetration, adhesions, and uterine malformations.

    • Conclusions:

    • Diagnostic hysteroscopy is recommended as the initial screening tool for most uterine abnormalities.
    • Hysterography serves as a valuable complementary procedure for complex cases and specific indications like infertility with suspected tubal disease.
