- Hysterosalpingography
- Laparoscopy
- Hysteroscopy
- Saline infusion sonography
Show Solution
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The image shows an X-ray of the pelvis with radio-opaque contrast filling the uterine cavity and both fallopian tubes - the classic appearance of Hysterosalpingography (HSG), also called uterosalpingography. HSG uses fluoroscopy/X-ray with iodinated contrast introduced via a cervical cannula. It evaluates uterine cavity morphology (septa, Asherman's, polyps, fibroids) and tubal patency (free peritoneal spillage = patent tube). Indications: infertility workup and recurrent pregnancy loss. Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are direct surgical visualization methods (no X-ray); saline infusion sonography uses ultrasound not X-ray. \[\boxed{\text{Hysterosalpingography (Option A)}}\]
