HSG Hysterosalpingography

AJ Diagnostics Centre & Healthcare is a leading Diagnostics Centre & Pathology Laboratory in Mira Road for HSG Hysterosalpingography Test & Diagnosis.

Hysterosalpingography (HSG), is a fluoroscopy procedure that outlines the shape of the uterus (womb) and helps checks for any blockage in the fallopian tubes. Fallopian tubes are a pair of slender tubes that provide a path for eggs to travel from the ovaries to the uterus.

Fluoroscopy is a type of X-ray procedure in which a contrast dye is injected into the person’s body and then they are exposed to x-ray radiation to look at their internal organs. When they pass through the person’s body, some of the radiation is absorbed by the body organs and the rest is captured by a detecting device placed on the other side of the patient. Thick tissues like bones absorb more radiation and appear greyish while tissues like lungs appear black. A contrast dye helps better view any abnormalities in the tissue structure. Fluoroscopy gives moving pictures, rather than the stills provided by standard x-ray tests.
