METHOD FOR HYSTEROSALPINGOGRAPHY USING A FOLEY CATHETER UNDER VISUAL CONTROL IN FIXED POSITIONS AND WITH DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHY Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A61B1/313 A61B17/42 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely gynecology and radiology. A Foley catheter is used, which does not require fixation on the cervix, followed by taking pictures in fixed positions in the following order: image 1, in an anterior-posterior projection lying on the back without contrast. Image 2, in an anterior-posterior projection lying on the back with the introduction of 2-3 ml of contrast, the uterine cavity and the process of filling the tubes with contrast are contrasted. Images 3-4, in left and right oblique projections: lying on the back with the left and right sides raised successively at an angle of 30-45°; then, if necessary, the remaining part of the contrast is injected: up to 4 ml. At the same time, the patient first turns on her side, where the tube is less passable, 3-5 minutes after the first picture. Image 5: lying on the stomach, while the turn on the stomach is carried out through the side where the fallopian tube is poorly passable. Images 6 and 7, 3-5 minutes after the fifth shot: left and right oblique projections: lying on the stomach with the left and right sides raised successively at an angle of 30-45°.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to clearly standardize the number of images, their projections and the position of the patient, indicates the projections in which the series of images are used, indicates what needs to be studied in these projections, makes it possible to compare pathological changes and the dynamics of changes in the positions in which they were recorded during a control study.
