• The hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an x-ray examination performed in the Swedish Outpatient Radiology Department by one of our physicians. It is used to determine whether the fallopian tubes are open and to evaluate the uterine cavity. This information is important because at least one tube must be open to allow the sperm to travel through the tube to contact the egg and for the fertilized egg to travel back to the uterus. The cavity of the uterus must also be normal to allow the fertilized egg (embryo) to implant and develop normally.
