Fluoroscopy

The uterus is normal in shape without evidence of congenital abnormalities.

The endometrial cavity is well-filled with contrast material with no filling defects.

The left fallopian tube is visualized, and normal spillage of contrast is noted at its fimbrial end.

Distal obstruction of the right fallopian tube with fluid-filled dilatation of the tube and without peritoneal spillage is evident, inferring hydrosalpinx.
