KUB(Kidneys,Ureters,Bladder)
IVP or intravenous pyelogramKUBPyelogram
There are at least a couple of radiographic studies of the kidneys and ureters using a contrast medium. In an intravenous pyelogram, or IVP, contrast medium is injected into a vein prior to imaging. In a VCUG, contrast medium is injected into the bladder to create an image.
Intravenous pyelogram (IVP) is a radiographic study involving the urinary system. It uses a contrast material injected into a vein to visualize the kidneys, ureters, and bladder on X-ray images. IVP is primarily used to evaluate the structure and function of the urinary system.
Prompt nephrograms are a radiographic study of the kidneys and urinary tract that is performed immediately after the injection of a contrast dye. This allows for visualization of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder to assess for any abnormalities such as tumors, stones, or obstructive lesions. It is commonly used in diagnosing conditions related to the urinary system.
What is used for a radio graphic study of kidneys and ureters
The ureters function to transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. They are thick tubes lined with smooth muscle that propel urine towards the bladder through a series of contractions. The one-way flow of urine is facilitated by valves located at the junctions of the ureters and bladder.
The simplest x-ray of the kidney is one of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, abbreviated KUB. An IV pyelogram uses x-ray with contrast to examine the kidneys.
Nephrology is the study of the kidney. A doctor who specializes in that field is a nephrologist.
