Abstract
Credit should be given Rubin1for the idea that the patency or nonpatency of the fallopian tubes may be safely determined by the passage of gas under pressure through the tubes. Soon after the publication of Rubin's paper in 1920, Dr. Peterson2began the extensive use of Rubin's test, combined with stereoscopic roentgenography of the pelvic organs, in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Michigan. I have been a member of Dr. Peterson's staff throughout the time that transuterine and transabdominal gas inflation has been tried and the methods have been improved. I have seen pelvic gas inflation, at first attempted with extreme caution for fear of resulting peritonitis, developed until it has become a part of the routine of the clinic and used with every confidence that no injury will result to the patient. I am indebted to Dr. Peterson for the opportunityKeywords
