What radiographic procedure provides images of the uterus and fallopian tubes?

The correct answer is hysterosalpingography, as this procedure specifically involves the use of radiographic imaging to visualize the uterus and fallopian tubes. During this procedure, a contrast dye is injected into the uterine cavity through the cervix. This dye helps to highlight the internal structures of the uterus and fallopian tubes on X-ray images, allowing for assessment of their shape, size, and patency. This procedure is particularly useful in evaluating conditions related to infertility and uterine abnormalities.

The other imaging methods, while useful for various diagnostic purposes, do not specifically provide the same level of detail for the uterus and fallopian tubes. Sonography (ultrasound) is effective for visualizing soft tissues and can provide some information about the uterus, but it does not visualize the fallopian tubes in the same manner. MRI can offer detailed images of pelvic anatomy but is not specifically designed for assessing the patency of the fallopian tubes. Standard X-ray can produce images of many structures in the body, but without the contrast used in hysterosalpingography, it would not be able to provide the focused information needed for evaluating the uterine cavity or fallopian tubes. Thus, hysterosalpingography is uniquely suited to this diagnostic need.
