Question
which diagnostic procedure could be used to determine whether the uterus and uterine tubes are open to a dye?
a culdoscopy
b hysterosalpingography
c pelvic ultrasonography
d laparoscopy
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a radiological procedure. A dye is injected into the uterus. X - rays are then taken. If the uterus and fallopian tubes (uterine tubes) are open, the dye will flow through them. Culdoscopy is mainly for examining the cul - de - sac. Pelvic ultrasonography uses sound waves to create images of pelvic organs but is not typically used to check dye passage in this way. Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that involves inserting a laparoscope into the abdomen to visualize organs, but it is more invasive and not the first - line for checking dye passage through the uterine tubes and uterus in the context of this question.
