Background Müllerian anomalies are associated with infertility. Hysteroscopy as the gold standard of evaluating Müllerian anomalies is an invasive, expensive and risky procedure which requires enough experience. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) and hysterosalpingography (HSG) are less invasive procedures, but their accuracy is unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of combinati...

Background: Müllerian anomalies are associated with infertility. Hysteroscopy as the gold standard for evaluating Müllerian anomalies is an invasive, expensive and risky procedure which requires enough experience. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) and hysterosalpingography (HSG) are less invasive procedures, but there is little known about the accuracy of these tests. The aim of this stud...

Abstract Study question To assess whether Hystero-salpingo-Foam Sonography (HyFoSy) is an effective and feasible alternative to X-ray Hystero-Salpingo-Graphy (HSG) Hystero-salpingo-Contrast (HyCoSy) in fallopian tube patency assessment. Summary answer HyFoSy demonstrated significantly superior diagnostic sensitivity specificity compared HyCoSy, however only minimal agreement with HSG. What know...
