Voiding Cystourethrogram

PROCEDURE

See Figure 61-1 for normal urethral anatomy.

1. Empty the bladder.

2. Catheterize bladder, record residual volume (normal <100 mL).

3. Fill bladder with contrast by gravity, fluoro intermittently, look for vesicoureteral reflux.

4. Spot film 1/1 bladder, partially filled.

5. Spot film 1/1 anteroposterior (AP) full bladder.

Spot film 1/1 obliques of both lower ureters (include ureterovesical junctions [UVJs]).

(Spot film 1/1 AP both kidneys if reflux and/or hydronephrosis is present.)

(Spot film 1/1 lateral bladder if study to rule out fistulae.)
