Abstract:
Purpose To explore the association between ultrasound contrast agent injection volume as well as regurgitation and tubal patency. Methods SonoVue contrast agent was used for 515 cases of infertility transvaginal four-dimensional ultrasound imaging hysterosalpingography, recorded the amount of contrast agent injection, regurgitation, and compared contrast agent injection volume and regurgitation in different patency. Results The ultrasound contrast agent injection volume between bilateral patency with bilateral passable and one side patency one side passable as well as one side patency one side barrier, between one side patency one side passable and one side patency one side barrier had no significant difference (U=1467.0-4843.0, P>0.05);and it had statistical difference between any other two conditions (U=273.5-6160.0, P<0.05). The regurgitation between bilateral passable and bilateral barrier, one side passable one side barrier, between bilateral barrier and one side patency one side barrier, one side passable one side barrier, between one side patency one side passable and one side patency one side barrier had no statistical difference (U=949.5-6378.5, P>0.05), and it had statistical difference between any other two conditions (U=919.5-5126.5, P<0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound contrast agent injection volume and regurgitation in hysterosalpingography are associated with tubal patency, which can be used as objective indexes for assessing tubal patency, and provide basis for tubal patency.
