How is the Test Performed?
You are asked to lie on a table in the radiology department and pull your knees to your chest. This is called the lithotomy position. A speculum is then inserted into the vagina, and the cervix is cleaned.
A catheter is inserted through the cervix and dye is injected, filling the uterus and fallopian tubes. The dye makes the genital organs and their cavities more visible with an X-ray, which is then performed. Aany abnormalities are noted.
