Good evidence that oil‐soluble contrast media (OSCM) enhances pregnancy rates when used to assess fallopian tube patency by hysterosalpingogram has prompted rapid clinical uptake by some fertility doctors and imaging specialists in Australia and New Zealand. The ACCEPT group met in July 2019 to develop a consensus document outlining the indications for and safe use of OSCM, to inform and guide clinicians interested in offering procedures using this media to couples with infertility.
