Hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography vs. magnetic resonance- hysterosalpingography for diagnosing fallopian tubal patency: a systematic review and meta-analysis
European Journal of Radiology Mar 19, 2020
Chen LS, Zhu ZQ, Li J, et al. - Researchers carried out to search the databases of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for records up to November 30, 2019 in order to correlate hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography (HyCoSy) and magnetic resonance-hysterosalpingography (MR-HSG) in the diagnosis of fallopian tubal patency. This study evaluated the diagnostic detection of HyCoSy or MR-HSG for fallopian tubal patency applying conventional HSG or laparoscopy as the reference test. This research enrolled 24 articles recruiting a total of 1,340 individuals. In 17 studies, HyCoSy was investigated, and MR-HSG was examined in seven studies. The study found similar overall diagnostic performance in HyCoSy and MR-HSG for diagnosing fallopian tubal patency. It was indicated that 3D/4D HyCoSy with ultrasound microbubbles could significantly enhance the diagnostic specificity of HyCoSy.
