154 Chapter 7 ABSTRACT Objectives This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (diagnostic). The objectives are as follows: To determine and compare the diagnostic accuracy of visual tubal patency tests (hysterosalpingography (HSG), sono‐hysterosalpingography (sono‐HSG), magnetic resonance hysterosalpingography (MR‐HSG), and outpatient transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy (THL)) for the diagnosis of tubal occlusion. Secondary objectives To determine and compare the diagnostic accuracy of visual tubal patency tests (HSG, sono‐HSG, MR‐HSG, and outpatient THL) for the diagnosis of hydrosalpinx. To evaluate heterogeneity with regards to population characteristics (population risk stratification) and index test characteristics (contrast media, technology, operator skills).
