Abstract
Twelve years ago, in an imaging diagnosis center in Vicente López, a northern area of Greater Buenos Aires, the idea of investigating the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes using a computed tomography (CT) based technique similar to the one of the traditional X-ray hysterosalpingography (HSG) arose: it was the early days of the virtual hysterosalpingography (VHSG).
