Abstract

CT-VHSG exams constitute an excellent noninvasive diagnostic alternative for the evaluation of the neck and cervical canal anatomy. Sagittal MPR allows the determination of the cervical-uterine angle between the lower uterine segment and the cervical canal, the measurement of caliber and length of the cervical canal, as well as the identification of pathologies.
