The results of a survey of doses imparted on 41 patients undergoing hysterosalpingography is presented. Dosimetric evaluations were carried out by measuring both the dose-area product using a transmission ionization type chamber, and the entrance surface dose using thermoluminiscent dosimeters. As a result, a local reference dose value was obtained for this examination. Correlations between the dose-area product and the entrance surface dose data were analysed and compared in order to find the most appropriate dosimetric procedure. The median dose-area product obtained was 713 cGy cm(2) (range 247 cGy cm(2)-1623 cGy cm(2)). Ovarian doses were also calculated, and a median value of 4.6 mGy was obtained for the whole examination. Effective doses were estimated with a median value of 3.1 mSv, and a range of 1.0 mSv-8.1 mSv.
