Book your X-ray examination (Urethrogram) & Urination (Cystogram) (RGU + MCU) at the Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an advanced NABL Accredited and NABH Certified Diagnostic Centre providing all-round Radiology and Pathology services. It is a combined fluoroscopy-guided examination that helps the physician to diagnose urethral strictures, urinary tract/bladder abnormalities, vesiculorectal reflux (VUR), urinary leakage, and other problems in the urinary tract. Both our radiologists and the clinical team use state-of-the-art digital fluoroscopy to obtain images that are accurate, safe for the patient, and reportable promptly for timely diagnosis and therapy.

About X-Ray RGU + MCU (Retrograde Urethrogram + Micturating Cystourethrogram)

Combined contrast X-rays that look at the urinary bladder and urethra, known as RGU + MCU. In RGU, the use of a contrast dye allows visualization of the urethra through its meatus. The bladder is in the MCU portion filled with contrast dye via a urinary catheter, and X-rays are shot as the patient pees out the contrast. Advanced Fluoroscopic imaging at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy allows doctors to see a detailed image of the lower urinary tract, offering a complete picture of what is structurally or functionally abnormal.

What is an X-Ray RGU + MCU?

An X-Ray RGU + MCU is a special type of diagnostic test that is undertaken in order to assess the passage of urine, the urinary bladder and the urethra during filling and voiding. The test is used to help find out:

• The anatomy of the urethra
• Presence of urethral narrowing (stricture)
• Bladder structure and function
• Vesicoureteral reflux (backflow of urine)
• Urethral injuries or leakage
• Bladder outlet obstruction
• Congenital abnormalities of the lower urinary tract

The examination is commonly recommended by urologists for a complete evaluation of lower urinary tract disorders.

Common Reasons for an X-Ray RGU + MCU

• Suspected urethral stricture
• Difficulty passing urine
• Weak urinary stream
• Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Suspected vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)
• Pelvic or urethral trauma
• Congenital urinary tract abnormalities
• Assessment before or after urethral or bladder surgery

Conditions Evaluated

Urethral Stricture

Helps identify narrowing of the urethra that restricts the normal flow of urine.

Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)

Detects backward flow of urine from the bladder into the ureters and kidneys.

Urethral Injury

Evaluates tears, leakage, or rupture of the urethra following trauma.

Bladder Abnormalities

Assesses the size, shape, capacity, and function of the urinary bladder.

Posterior Urethral Valves

Helps diagnose congenital urethral obstruction, particularly in male children.

Urinary Tract Dysfunction

Provides valuable information about bladder emptying and lower urinary tract function.

Who Should Consider This Test?

Your doctor may recommend an X-Ray RGU + MCU if you:

• Have difficulty or pain during urination
• Experience a weak urinary stream
• Have recurrent urinary tract infections
• Are suspected to have urethral stricture
• Have pelvic or urethral trauma
• Need evaluation for vesicoureteral reflux
• Require assessment before or after urological surgery

Benefits of X-Ray RGU + MCU

• Comprehensive evaluation of the urethra and bladder
• Detects urethral strictures and injuries
• Identifies vesicoureteral reflux
• Evaluates bladder function during urination
• Supports diagnosis of congenital urinary abnormalities
• Helps guide appropriate urological treatment

Preparation for X-Ray RGU + MCU

• No special fasting is usually required unless advised by your doctor.
• Inform your doctor about any allergy to iodine or contrast dye.
• Inform your doctor if you have a urinary tract infection, fever, or difficulty passing urine.
• Carry previous ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, cystoscopy, or urology reports if available.
• Follow all preparation instructions provided by your doctor before the examination.
