Contrast-enhanced projection radiography: Hysterosalpingography

Your uterus and your fallopian tubes have been X-rayed. This involved using a contrast agent.

The uterus or womb sits in the pelvis and is pear-shaped. The narrower part extends downward into the vagina and is called the cervix. When a woman is pregnant, the child grows in her uterus. The two fallopian tubes go to the right and left of the ovaries towards the womb. They are like tubes and they transport the egg cells from the ovaries to the uterus.

A contrast agent is a fluid. The contrast agent is intended to help to differentiate the tissues more clearly from one another in the X‑ray examination.
