cystogram
Bladder X-ray procedure
A cystogram is an X-ray image of the bladder, produced by introducing a contrast dye through a catheter and then taking radiographic pictures.
The procedure helps physicians identify abnormalities such as bladder injuries, tumors, or problems with urinary reflux.
The doctor ordered a cystogram to check for leaks after the surgery.
The related term cystography refers to the imaging procedure itself.
