In the evaluation of infertile couples, hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a simple, safe, and minimally invasive radiologic procedure to visualize uterine cavity and tubes after contrast enhancement. HSG plays an important diagnostic role in finding the cause of infertility and in deciding the line of management.
