Overview
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) may be helpful in the diagnosis of the anatomic defects that can cause amenorrhea. Findings on a hysterosalpingography diagnostic of Asherman syndrome include multiple irregular linear (or lacunar) filling defects showing intrauterine adhesion, inability to distend the endometrial cavity, and totally non-filled uterine mostly in severe cases. Testicular scan can be helpful in diagnosing intra-abdominal or inguinal testes seen in patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome.

Hysterosalpingography
- Hysterosalpingography is an abdominal X-ray imaging technique where contrast medium is injected into the uterine cavity through vagina and cervix.
- Hysterosalpingography (HSG) may be helpful in the diagnosis of the anatomic defects that can cause amenorrhea. Findings on a hysterosalpingography diagnostic of Asherman syndrome include:[2]
- Multiple irregular linear (or lacunar) filling defects showing intrauterine adhesion
- Inability to distend the endometrial cavity
- Totally non-filled uterine mostly in severe cases
Testicular scan
- Testicular scan consists of radioisotope scan of whole body using fluorine-18 fludeoxyglucose to identify the exact location of testes.
- Testicular scan can be helpful in diagnosing intra-abdominal or inguinal testes seen in patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome.
