NCT ID NCT02108665
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared two imaging methods for diagnosing female infertility: MRI with a contrast dye and traditional X-ray. The goal was to see if MRI, which uses no radiation, could provide a complete and accurate assessment. Forty women participated, and researchers measured how well MRI detected uterine abnormalities compared to X-ray.
