Radiology Procedures
IVU
(intravenous urography) In this, a dye is injected intravenously and x-ray
pictures of the kidneys, ureters and bladder are obtained. The dye is radio-opaque
and seen well with x-rays. Overnight fasting and good preparation of the colon
with Dulcolax are required. The cost is between Rs 1000 to 2500.
MCU
(micturating cystourethrography) Dye is introduced into the urinary bladder
and the patient is asked to micturate/urinate. X-ray pictures are obtained during
the act of micturition to assess the function and structure of the urinary bladder
and urethra.
RGU (retrograde urethrography)
Dye is injected through
the urethra from the glans penis and x-ray pictures are taken. This helps in assessing
the urethra and the bladder base.
Fistulogram and sinusogram
In these studies, using a small catheter, iodinated dye is injected into the cutaneous
sinus or fistula and x-rays are taken, which help in identifying the tract of
the sinus or fistula.
Sialography
In this, the parotid duct
is cannulated from the mouth and x-ray pictures of the parotid duct and gland
are obtained.
Angiography, venography
The arteries are catheterized
usually through the femoral artery and after injection of iodinated dye, x-rays
are taken. If the same study is performed for the veins, we get venograms.
HSG (hysterosalpingography)
The cervix is cannulated and iodinated dye
is injected into the cervical and uterine lumen. The Fallopian tubes are then
well seen. This procedure is used to study the patency of the passage as well
as other structural abnormalities.
