Cystography

Cystography is a method of examining the bladder using x-rays. It is used to diagnose various bladder diseases such as inflammation, bladder stones, cancer and others. Cystography is often performed in conjunction with other tests, such as ultrasound (US) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Cystography involves injecting the patient intravenously with a contrast agent, which is then excreted through the kidneys and bladder. The patient is then asked to drink a special solution that helps keep the contrast inside the bladder. After this, a series of x-rays of the bladder are taken from different angles.

Cystography is a method for diagnosing the organs of the genitourinary system. It provides images of the bladder and its contents, as well as other structures of the genitourinary organs, such as the ureters and kidneys. Cystography can be performed using both x-rays and contrast agents.
