Abstract
AIMS: The study is done to determine the sensitivity of SSG in detecting the tubal patency and intrauterine abnormalities in subfertile women in comparison with HSG. METHODS AND MATERIAL: The study is done in 53 patients of 20-32 years age group with infertility, we tried to evaluate all these patients with HSG as well as SSG done by two radiologists separately. However, SSG could not be done in 3 patients for various reasons. The findings of HSG and SSG interpreted by two radiologists separately and tallied later. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Compared sensitivity of two tests, positive predictive values and kappa study to determine degree of agreement between two tests. RESULTS: Conclusions: SSG is almost equally sensitive to HSG In evaluating tubal patency. SSG Is best in evaluating intrauterine abnormalities. And thus, SSG is a Safe reliable alternative for HSG in the evaluation of patients with infertility with no hazards of radiation and contrast reactions. By doing SSG we can avoid radiation to the extent of 3.2 Msv, which is average radiation dose given by HSG.MRI, a non-radiation modality, can replace HSG in the evaluation of uterine anomalies.
