Hysterosalpingography

Hysterosalpingography is an examination of a woman’s uterus and fallopian tubes that uses a form of X-ray called fluoroscopy. During this procedure, the radiologist uses a water-soluble contrast material (a substance that acts like a dye) and watches it move through a woman's reproductive system, making it possible to see internal organs in motion.

Hysterosalpingography helps the radiologist assess the anatomy and function of the uterus and fallopian tubes and determine if there is a blockage or other structural abnormality.
