Figure 1d. (a) Spot radiograph obtained during the early filling stage of the uterus. Small filling defects are best seen at this stage. (b) On a radiograph obtained with the uterus fully distended with contrast material, portions of both fallopian tubes are opacified. Like images obtained during the early filling stage of the uterus, images obtained at full uterine distention allow evaluation for filling defects and contour abnormalities. However, small filling defects may be obscured when the uterus is well opacified. (c) Spot radiograph clearly depicts the interstitial, isthmic, and ampullary portions of both fallopian tubes. (d) Spot radiograph shows intraperitoneal contrast material spillage from the fallopian tubes. In this case, the spillage outlines the convexity of the uterine fundus (arrow).
