This book provides a comprehensive, practically applicable guide to the use of CT virtual hysterosalpingography for evaluating gynaecological pathology and infertility in women. It features detailed descriptions of normal and pathologic findings across the female reproductive system, including the cervix, uterine wall and cavity, and Fallopian tubes, and compares the findings with other imaging modalities such as ultrasound, X-ray hysterosalpingography and MRI. The interpretation of post-treatment findings and commonly encountered pitfalls are also covered in detail.
Clinical Atlas of CT Virtual Hysterosalpingography compares the use of a variety of imaging modalities to assess female infertility, and is a valuable resource for medical professionals who encounter these patients in their clinical practice.
