[Role of radiology in intrauterine contraception].
The authors discuss the merits of some indications of radiological explorations during intra-uterine contraception. In reference to systematic hysterograms performed in order to measure the uterine cavity or screen malformations, they feel that, because of the fact that most copper intra-uterine device are currently standard and considering the rare occurrence of uterine malformations (1.5 to 2.5%), these explorations do not seem any longer justified, as they considerably increase the cost of intra-uterine contraception.
