Results: The diagnostic accuracy of hysterosalpingography in the diagnosis of tubal pathology depends on selected target condition. Diagnostic accuracy of hysterosalpingography is lacking in the diagnosis of general tubal pathology, peritubal adhesions, and tubal occlusion when target condition is defined as any form of tubal occlusion.
