Ascending Cystourethrography |
![]() |
• An x-ray (radiograph) is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Imaging with x-rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body.
• Voidingcystourethrography (VCUG), also known as a micturatingcystourethrography (MCU), is a fluoroscopic study of the lower urinary tract in which contrast is introduced into the bladder via a catheter. The purpose of the examination is to assess the bladder, urethra, postoperative anatomy and micturition in order to determine the presence or absence of bladder and urethral abnormalities, including vesicoureteric reflux (VUR).
clinical indications for voiding cystourethrography include:
• urinary tract infection
• dysuria
• dysfunctional voiding
• hydronephrosis and/or hydroureter
• bladder outlet obstruction
• hematuria
• trauma
• urinary incontinence
• neurogenic dysfunction of the bladder, e.g. spinal dysraphism
• congenital anomalies of the genitourinary tract
• postoperative evaluation of the urinary tract
• You should inform your physician of any medications you aretaking.
• You will be asked to remove some of your clothes and to wear a gown during the exam. You may also be asked to remove jewelry, removable dental appliances, eye-glasses and any metal objects or clothing that might interfere with the x-ray images.
