Summary

As an essential step of the infertile work-up, hysterosalpingogram (HSG) has some advantages including the lack of need for anesthesia, a non-invasive procedure with less cost and relative easy to put into practice. However, it would be failed to detect the extra-tubal and peritoneal pathology and would be also difficult to distinguish the obstruction caused by the spasm of intramural segment. Obviously, imaging quality plays a key role in diagnostic accuracy of the HSG, studies had taken four roentgenograms and combined with the fluoroscopy were reported a higher sensitivity and specificity than those only taken two images in the examination. And hybridized radiography with CT or MRI system may provide the good-quality of the HSG. It is also reported that the sonosalpingography (SSG), which detect the tubal patency in real time, can show pelvic pathologies better than HSG. However, no parallel study was designed to verify the hypothesis that combined the fluoroscopy and taken more images can improving the diagnostic quality of the HSG. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the accuracy of HSG can be improved by real-time evaluating under the fluoroscopy.
