Lipiodol hysterosalpingogram: A modified HSG technique to minimize risks associated with lipiodol use

SummaryAssessment of tubal patency and therapeutic tubal flushing using Lipiodol, an oil ‐soluble contrast media (OSCM), has been shown to enhance fertility, resulting in increased interest in the use of Lipiodol. A modified hysterosalpingogram (HSG) technique, including a supplementary ultrasound with the contrast in situ, is recommended when using Lipiodol, taking into account both safety issues and technical challenges specific to Lipiodol.
