A hysterosalpingogram is a diagnostic imaging modality primarily utilized in assessing female infertility. By injecting a contrast dye into the uterus, the procedure enables visualization of the endometrial cavity and fallopian tubes using fluoroscopy and x-ray techniques and assessment of fallopian tube patency. The ability to specifically evaluate fallopian tube patency and endometrial cavity structure is unique to hysterosalpingogram, which is often utilized as a complementary procedure with other imaging modalities (eg, pelvic ultrasonography, hysteroscopy, or magnetic resonance imaging) to assess infertility. This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance knowledge regarding a hysterosalpingogram procedure, including its purpose, indications, and techniques, from patient positioning to contrast media considerations, to ensure clinicians grasp the procedure’s intricacies. Ultimately, this activity will provide the competence and skills necessary to effectively utilize this imaging modality in the diagnosis and management of female infertility, thereby improving patient outcomes and quality of care.
