About X-Ray IVP (Intravenous Urography)
A special type of X-ray, called intravenous urography (IVP), examines the urinary tract with a special dye. An iodine-based contrast dye is drip-fed into a vein, and a series of X-ray images is captured as the dye is filtered by the kidney and is sent into the bladder through the ureters. In Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, the use of high-quality images using advanced digital radiography enables better assessment of not only anatomy, but also the physiology of the urinary system.
What is an X-Ray IVP?
An X-ray of the urinary bladder, its ureters, and kidneys using intravenous contrast material is called an X-ray IVP (intravenous urography). The test is used to answer the following questions:
- The size, shape, and position of the kidneys
- The flow of urine through the ureters
- Structural abnormalities of the urinary tract
- Presence of urinary obstruction or stones
- Function of the kidneys and urinary collecting system
The examination is commonly recommended by urologists and physicians for investigating urinary tract disorders.
Common Reasons for an X-Ray IVP
- Evaluation of blood in the urine (Haematuria)
- Suspected kidney or ureteric stones
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
- Flank or abdominal pain
- Urinary tract obstruction
- Congenital abnormalities of the urinary tract
- Assessment before or after urinary tract surgery
- Evaluation of kidney function and urinary drainage
