Cystogram

Overview

A cystogram consists of having contrast injected into the bladder through a catheter inserted into the urethra.

Test Procedure

You will be asked to remove metallic objects in the abdomen and pelvic area. You also will be asked to change into a hospital gown. The technologist will then call in a nurse to insert a catheter into the urethra. The radiologist will then inject the contrast and watch the bladder fill under fluoroscopy. The radiologist will obtain spot films. If you are having a cystogram, you will be asked to void in the restroom and the technologist will take a post-void film. If you are having a voiding cystogram the radiologist will watch you void under fluoroscopy, or have the technologist take a film while you void on the table.
