urography

During intravenous urography, keep taking films as long as you are getting needed information.

This procedure is also called intravenous urography.

Diagnosis is confirmed during intravenous urography, by obtaining erect and supine films.

Typical applications include urography and angiography.

Diodone is a radiocontrast agent used in urography.

Ultrasonography showed hydronephrosis of the left kidney, which was confirmed by intravenous urography.

Cystoscopy, proctoscopy, x-ray examination of the lungs, and intravenous urography as needed, are used for staging purposes.

IVU (intravenous urography)

Although largely obsolete, conventional tomography is still used in specific situations such as dental imaging (orthopantomography) or in intravenous urography.

In the case of proteinuria and haematuria these may include urography or morphological studies of urinary red cells, together with renal biopsy.

Pyelogram (or pyelography or urography) is a form of imaging of the renal pelvis and ureter.

Number of referrals per 1000 registered patients for radiography of the chest, skull, spine, abdomen, limbs, and joints and for barium investigation and excretion urography.

It also increases the absorption rate of parenteral fluids given by hypodermoclysis, and is an adjunct in subcutaneous urography for improving resorption of radiopaque agents.

In order to assess these structures radiographically, a technique called an intravenous pyelogram was historically utilized, and today at many institutions CT urography is the technique of choice.

In addition colonoscopy, duodenal biopsies, small intestinal radiology, ultrasound, technetium or chromium labelled studies and other non-gastroenterological investigations (for example intravenous urography) were performed when considered appropriate.

Although together they made up only 8% of referrals in the year before the guidelines the reduction in barium investigation and excretion urography contributed 25% of the savings achieved in the second year.

The diagnosis is supported by the results of imaging studies such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound of the abdomen (with or without doppler imaging) or intravenous urography.

In all 79% (23949 of 30253) of general practitioner referrals were for one of the seven examinations covered in the guideline booklet (chest, skull, spine, abdomen, barium investigation, excretion urography, and limbs and joints).

It allows only the following diagnostic tests to be used in determining the stage: palpation, inspection, colposcopy, endocervical curettage, hysteroscopy, cystoscopy, proctoscopy, intravenous urography, and X-ray examination of the lungs and skeleton, and cervical conization.

Among these main diagnostic tests, other radiologic tests such as excretory urography, positron-emission tomography (PET) scanning, ultrasonography, arteriography, venography, and bone scanning can also used to aid in the evaluation of staging renal masses and to differentiate non-malignant tumours from malignant tumours.
