Ultrasound imaging is extremely safe and does not use any ionizing radiation.
A hysterosonogram gives a clear picture of soft tissues that do not show up well on x-ray images.
Hysterosonography is a simple, minimally invasive procedure that is well tolerated by patients and has very few complications.
Hysterosonography is a relatively short procedure that provides an excellent view of the uterus and endometrial lining.
Many uterine abnormalities that may not be seen adequately with routine trans vaginal ultrasound may be viewed in detail with hysterosonography.
Hysterosonography can prevent unnecessary surgery, and it can ensure that all polyps and fibroids are removed at surgery.
