Gynography

Gynography refers to a radiographic imaging technique used to examine the female genital organs. In this procedure, air or another gas is injected intraperitoneally (into the abdominal cavity) as a contrasting medium. The gynograph, a device used for gynography, was invented by Abner I. Weisman, a medical specialist. Gynography is commonly employed by gynecologists and radiologists to perform a specific type of radiographic examination called hysterosalpingography.

The benefits of gynography over uterosalpingography include a reduced risk of complications, such as intravasation of the venous sinuses of the uterus, pulmonary emboli, foreign body retention cysts, pelvic peritonitis, rupture of the fallopian tube, and even death. The main side effect observed with gynography is occasional exacerbation of chronic salpingitis, which occurs rarely.
