ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the value of hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography (HyCoSy) with the contrast agent SonoVue in the diagnosis of women infertility. Methods Thirty-six cases of infertility underwent HyCoSy using SonoVue and compared with laparoscopie hydrotubation. Resnlts Among 69 fallopian tubes,22 of them were diagnosed to be obstructive by HyCoSy. Compared with laparoscopic hydrotubation, the sensitivity and specificity of HyCoSy were 90. 5 % and 93.8 %, respectively. Conclusions HyCoSy is a convenient, non-invasive, non-radiative method,which may be regarded as an effective tool to assess the fallopian tubes in patients with infertility.
