  2. Pyelogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyelogram

    Unlike a kidneys, ureters, and bladder x-ray (KUB), which is a plain (that is, noncontrast) radiograph, an IVP uses contrast to highlight the urinary tract. In IVP, the contrast agent is given through a vein ( intravenously ), allowed to be cleared by the kidneys and excreted through the urinary tract as part of the urine . [ 5 ]

  3. Cystography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystography

    In radiology and urology, a cystography (also known as cystogram) is a procedure used to visualise the urinary bladder. Using a urinary catheter, radiocontrast is instilled in the bladder, and X-ray imaging is performed. Cystography can be used to evaluate bladder cancer, vesicoureteral reflux, bladder polyps, and hydronephrosis.

  4. Urinary tract ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinary_tract_ultrasound

    Ultrasound is non-invasive and does not involve radiation, unlike some methods of imaging of the urinary tract such as X-rays or CT scans. [2] It is usually painless. [2] It is safe in pregnancy. [1] Risks specific to the scan involve: Discomfort from the abdominal probe [1] Distress related to results that are reported

    However, ureteral stones near the ostium can be visualized with a scan position over the bladder. An exam of the ureteric orifices and the excretion of urine to the bladder can be performed by inspecting the ureteric jets in the bladder with color Doppler US.

  6. Voiding cystourethrography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiding_cystourethrography

    Under fluoroscopy (real time x-rays) the radiologist watches the contrast enter the bladder and looks at the anatomy of the patient. If the contrast moves into the ureters and back into the kidneys , the radiologist makes the diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux , and gives the degree of severity a score.

  7. Abdominal x-ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominal_x-ray

    Yet, CT scan is the best alternative for diagnosing intra-abdominal injury. [1] Computed tomography provides an overall better surgical strategy planning, and possibly fewer unnecessary laparotomies. Abdominal x-ray is therefore not recommended for adults with acute abdominal pain presenting in the emergency department. [2]

  8. Cystourethrography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystourethrography

    Cystourethrography is a radiographic, fluoroscopic medical procedure that is used to visualize and evaluate the bladder and the urethra. [1] Voiding and positive pressure cystourethrograms help to assess lower urinary tract trauma, reflux, suspected fistulas, and to diagnose urinary retention.

  9. Computed tomography urography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computed_tomography_urography

    A computed tomography urography (CT urography or CT urogram) is a computed tomography scan that examines the urinary tract after contrast dye is injected into a vein. [1]In a CT urogram, the contrast agent is through a cannula into a vein, allowed to be cleared by the kidneys and excreted through the urinary tract as part of the urine.
