A SALINE INFUSION SONOGRAM (SAS) is a specialized ultrasound used to visualize the cavity of the uterus. This scan uses a small amount of saline (salt solution) inserted into the uterus (or womb) that allows the lining of the uterus (endometrium) to be clearly seen on an ultrasound scan.
A Sonosalpingography (Hycosy) is a specialized ultrasound technique used to visualize the cavity of the uterus and fallopian tube patency using ultrasound contrast. This scan uses a small amount of water soluble contrast inserted into the uterus (or womb) that allows the lining of the uterus (endometrium) to be clearly seen on an ultrasound scan and well delineation of the fallopian tubes.
A transvaginal ultrasound is performed and images are taken in 2D and 3D modes.
This test is used to screen for structural abnormalities that might interfere with implantation or increase risk for miscarriage. Examples of these include uterine polyps, fibroids, scar tissue or a uterine septum
The procedure starts like a typical gynecologic exam, with placement of a speculum to visualize the cervix. A second catheter is then placed in the cervix and is used to instill 5-10 ml of saline / contrast into the uterus. The speculum is removed, and a transvaginal ultrasound placed to visualize and take images of the uterine cavity.
The radiologist performing the procedure will discuss the results with you, and your primary doctor will review your ultrasound images as well.
This test is done ideally in the 1st half of the menstrual cycle 2/3 days after cessation of menses
Ideal time – 7th -10th day
Fasting for 2 hours is preferred.
Reports are issued the same day / next day
