Until recently, tubal patency at this centre was investigated via hysterosalpingography (HSG). However, in response to national recommendations, highlighted at a study day, we believed it was possible to improve the quality of the current service by replacing it with a contrast-enhanced ultrasound study, thus avoiding the radiation burden associated with HSG. This article describes the process involved in implementing the changeover.
