The full contour of the uterine cavity was depicted in 96% of cases by 3D\u2010HyCoSy and 64% by XHSG (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.005). The uterine cavity area measured on 3D\u2010HyCoSy correlated well with the volume of contrast medium required on XHSG (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 0.8166).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>3D\u2010HyCoSy provided advantages of better assessment of uterine cavity over XHSG. Compared with conventional XHSG, the efficacy of 3D\u2010HyCoSy to assess tubal patency was acceptable. In addition, the procedure of 3D\u2010HyCoSy appears to be better tolerated, requiring no sedation or anesthesia and a reduced examination time. Thus, 3D\u2010HyCoSy with saline as a contrast medium is feasible and could comprise a routine outpatient procedure in the initial evaluation of infertile women.
