What does salpingogram mean?

A salpingogram is a type of medical imaging test used to visualize the fallopian tubes and assess their patency (openness) and structure. It is typically performed during a procedure called hysterosalpingography (HSG), where a contrast dye is injected into the uterus and fallopian tubes, followed by X-ray imaging. This test is often used in the evaluation of infertility or to investigate conditions affecting the female reproductive system.
