Boyce dorsal ureterocystography (BOUC) is an x-ray technique that allows you to evaluate the condition of the ureters and bladder. It is used to diagnose various diseases of the genitourinary system, such as urolithiasis, bladder tumors and others.

The BOUS procedure is performed using special equipment that allows you to obtain images of the ureters, bladder and other organs of the urinary system. The procedure can be performed either under local anesthesia or without it.
