2. Septate uterus Septum in the uterus.
3. Bicornuate uterus
4. Transvaginal ultrasound imaging procedure that views the tissues of the vagina and uterus across
the vagina
(overview of anatomy)
5. When is saline infusion SIS helps to see if there is any thickening of the endometrium of
sonography indicated? the uterus, or if there are polyps. Polyps are small growths of the
endometrium. The scan can also be performed in the assessment of
post menopausal endometrium or possible Asherman's Syndrome (a
condition caused by the presence of scars in the uterine cavity).
6. Hystersalpingography X-ray record of the endometrial cavity and fallopian tubes is obtained
after injection of contrast material through the vagina and into the

7. MRI uterine abnormalities (fibroids)
8. Hysteroscopy an endoscopic investigation of the uterus and tubes
(removal of polyps, fibroids, and adhesions)
9. Laparoscopy visual (endoscopic) examination of the abdomen with a laparoscope
inserted through small incisions in the abdomen

Can test for patency of tubes with saline infusion
