Saline infusion sonohysterography

چکیده
Saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) is the term for ultrasound imaging of the uterine cavity, using sterile saline solution as a negative contrast medium. It imitates the clarity and exquisite definition of the uterine cavity afforded by amniotic fluid during pregnancy. In principle, any clear liquid could be used to define surfaces. However, sterile saline is inexpensive, easily available and safe to infuse into the peritoneal cavity through the reproductive lumen.
