Abstract

Summary

The authors describe a radioisotopic method for the oviduct patency control in patients suffering from primary or secondary sterility. The application of ¹³³Xe causes at least about 3—4 times less radiation than hysterosalpingographical tests.

Ease of interpretation facility, painlessness and comparability of the results were noticed.

Es wird eine Radioisotopenmethode der Kontrolle der Durchlässigkeit der Salpingen bei den an primärer oder sekundärer Sterilität leidenden Patientinnen beschrieben.

Die Anwendung der genannten Methode bewirkt eine 3—4fache Verminderung der Strahlendosis im Vergleich zu hysterosalpingographischen Untersuchungen.

Die dargestellte Methode ist einfach, schmerzlos und die Ergebnisse sind vergleichbar.
