Radiation dose reduction during hysterosalpingography: an application of scanning-beam digital radiography

DC Kushner, IC Yoder, RH Cleveland, TE Herman and MM Goodsitt

Hysterosalpingography was performed in 31 patients by means of a low- dose scanning-beam digital radiographic system. The technique permits adequate evaluation of gynecologic abnormalities while allowing significant reduction in radiation: 2.4-mR (6.1 X 10(-7) C/kg) exposure to the skin and 0.7-mrad (7 X 10(-6) Gy) mean dose to the ovaries per image obtained. Sixteen patients demonstrated readily recognizable and documented abnormalities, corroborated by laparoscopy, laparotomy, or other supportive evidence.
