How is a patient positioned for a hysterosalpingogram?

During a hysterosalpingogram (HSG), the patient is typically positioned in a supine position on an X-ray table, similar to a pelvic exam. The hips are usually elevated with a pillow to facilitate access to the cervix. The legs may be placed in stirrups to allow for better positioning. It's important for the patient to remain as relaxed as possible during the procedure.
