Didelphys uterus. Hysterosalpingography shows two uterine cavities, two cervices, and one single vagina.

Bicornate uterus. Spot radiograph shows two uterine horns. The fallopian tubes are also visualized at this imaging stage.

Arcuate uterus. Hysterosalpingography demonstrates a depression of the uterine fundus, compatible with an arcuate uterus.

Small size of the uterus cavity with normal length of the vagina.

Uterine cancer. Large contrast deficiency with abnormal border at the left lateral uterus wall, which is indicated.
