WHAT IS SONOHYSTEROGRAPHY

Sonohysterography — A Clear Picture, Without Radiation

A safe, painless test that uses sound waves — not x-rays — to look inside your uterus.

Sonohysterography is a procedure to look at the inside of the uterus. It’s a safe, painless test that uses sound waves and a computer to create images — it does not use radiation.

Because it doesn’t use ionizing radiation and has no known harmful effects, it provides a clear picture of soft tissues that don’t always show up well on x-rays.

No Radiation

Uses sound waves, not x-rays, with no known harmful effects.

Real-Time Imaging

Creates a live picture as the procedure happens.

Diagnoses Multiple Conditions

Helps identify a range of uterine and tubal issues in one test.

THE PROCEDURE

What Happens During a Sonohysterography

Catheter Insertion

A thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into the cervix.

Saline Instillation

Saline is sent through the catheter into the uterus.

Ultrasound Imaging

At the same time, the transducer sends high-frequency sound waves through gel and into the body, creating a real-time image.

Clearer Detail

The saline fluid helps the ultrasound form an image with sharper detail, showing the structure of the uterus.

Tubal Patency Check

The flow of fluid through the tubes into the pelvis can also be visualised, helping determine whether your tubes are open.
