Assessment of Multidetector CT Virtual Hysterosalpingography as Reliable Modality for The Evaluation of Female Genital System Abnormalities

Abstract

The development of multidetector computed tomography technology provides a capacity for exceptionally high spatial and temporal resolution. Virtual hysterosalpingography is a novel, non invasive modality that combines these capabilities of multidetector CT with the established technique of hysterosalpingography to allow a simultaneous non-invasive evaluation of the entire uterine wall, uterine cavity, cervix and fallopian tubes. The evaluation of the parauterine pelvic structures is a great advantage of the procedure that could be an alternative diagnostic technique in the infertility workup algorithm.
