Disease relevance of Hysterosalpingography

• We enrolled 358 women with primary infertility who had tubal occlusion documented by hysterosalpingography, as well as 953 women with primary infertility who did not have tubal occlusion (infertile controls) and 584 primigravid women (pregnant controls) [1].
• Chlamydia trachomatis, tubal disease and the incidence of symptomatic and asymptomatic infection following hysterosalpingography [2].
• RESULTS: Patients who demonstrated by laparoscopy to have endometriosis showed a significantly increased incidence of tubal blockage during initial hysterosalpingography (HSG) (12/26, 46.1%) compared with controls (2/14, 14.3%) [3].
• We report a case of infertility investigated by hysterosalpingography in which a clinically unsuspected chronic tubal pregnancy was identified with the predisposing factor of bilateral salpingitis isthmica nodosa [4].

High impact information on Hysterosalpingography

• Use of iotrolan versus ethiodized poppy-seed oil in hysterosalpingography [5].
• Pregnancies after selective salpingography and tubal recanalization [6].
• In a prospective randomized study of 417 patients, side effects and complications of contrast media and the diagnostic quality of images obtained after hysterosalpingography (HSG) were evaluated after use of diatrizoate meglumine (104 patients), ioxaglate (105 patients), iohexol (105 patients), or ethiodized poppy-seed oil (103 patients) [7].
• Radiologists and nonradiologists had roughly equivalent roles in hysterosalpingography, peripheral atherectomy and laser angioplasty, and percutaneous inferior vena cava filter placement [8].
• The authors recommend the continued use of meglumine-based water-soluble ionic contrast material for hysterosalpingography [9].

Chemical compound and disease context of Hysterosalpingography

• Technetium-99m hysterosalpingography in infertility: an accurate alternative to contrast hysterosalpingography [10].
• Patients examined with Isopaque Amine experienced significantly less pain and this contrast medium therefore is suggested as a suitable agent for hysterosalpingography in the investigation of sterility [11].
• Over a 10-month period, 23 patients (mean age, 33 years) referred for infertility were examined by HyCoSy (saline or Infoson) before conventional hysterosalpingography (Iopamiron 370), performed during the same session [12].

Biological context of Hysterosalpingography

• The female genital tract is capable of active transport that can be demonstrated by serial scintigraphic imaging over time (radionuclide hysterosalpingography; RN-HSG) [13].
• The effectiveness of selective tubal cannulation using a simple and inexpensive tubal insemination catheter was evaluated in 23 infertile patients with cornual obstruction demonstrated by hysterosalpingography [14].
• The first category includes tests showing a well-established correlation with pregnancy, e.g. semen analysis, tubal patency with hysterosalpingography or laparoscopy, and ovulation detection [15].
• CONCLUSION(S): Hysterosalpingography, which should be done in the follicular phase of the cycle, evaluates the contour of the uterine cavity, cervical canal, and tubal lumina [16].
• The tubal pathologies, as well as intracavitary and/or structural uterine abnormalities, detected with this procedure were compared with preoperative hysterosalpingography and operative procedures [17].

Anatomical context of Hysterosalpingography

• Fluoroscopic transcervical fallopian tube recanalization was performed in 100 consecutive patients with infertility and proximal tubal obstruction documented with hysterosalpingography [18].
• Oviduct response to glucagon during hysterosalpingography [19].
• CONCLUSION(S): Sonohysterography offers advantages over in-office hysteroscopy and hysterosalpingography for evaluation of the uterus before IVF [20].
• Comparison of this technique with hysterosalpingography in a series of 32 patients with hydrosalpinges demonstrates its superiority in the evaluation of the tubal mucosa [21].

Associations of Hysterosalpingography with chemical compounds

• Tubal patency was investigated by hysterosalpingography in 21 of 37 patients with unruptured tubal pregnancy treated by local methotrexate injection at laparoscopy [22].
• At subsequent hysterosalpingography 5 of 6 patients treated with prostaglandins and 7 of 8 treated with glucose had normal tubal configuration and patency [23].
• Hexabrix as a contrast agent for hysterosalpingography [24].
• Hysterosalpingography with Amipaque [25].
• Radiation dosimetry in radionuclide hysterosalpingography with technetium-99m [26].

Gene context of Hysterosalpingography

• Nine patients without evidence of tubal patency at routine hysterosalpingography were given glucagon [19].
• It is also recommended whenever a suspicious finding is revealed by hysterosalpingography, before IVF [27].
• The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of a new magnetic resonance hysterography (MR-HG) and hysterosalpingography (MR-HSG) technique employing hyperpolarized (3)He [28].
• Cerebral embolization and coma after hysterosalpingography with oil-soluble contrast medium [29].
• In this case report, a patient with a right tubal pregnancy was managed by a new procedure combining retrograde salpingography and local MTX injection [30].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Hysterosalpingography

• MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): The fluoroscopic exposure (rad time) during gynecoradiologic procedures, including hysterosalpingogram (HSG), selective salpingography, tubal catheterization, and others [31].
• The potential value of tubal perfusion pressures measured during selective salpingography in predicting fertility [32].
• A comparison of hysterosalpingography (HSG) with endoscopy in the evaluation of tubal function in 117 infertile women is presented [33].
• In a study to assess real-time ultrasonography (US) as an alternative to hysterosalpingography (HSG) in the evaluation of uterine abnormalities and tubal patency, 61 women underwent US immediately before hysteroscopy/laparoscopy [34].
• INTERVENTION: Selective salpingography was performed under fluoroscopy [35].
