Abstract

Computed tomography virtual hysterosalpingography is a novel radiographic technique for evaluating the female reproductive system. Based on a CT volumetric data of the pelvic region, this diagnostic procedure combines the advantages of multidetector CT and the capabilities of the X-ray hysterosalpingography for an exhaustive and complete evaluation of the gynecologic system in a single study.
