Also Known As:
Intravenous Pyelogram
This imaging procedure uses a non-ionic contrast dye to create highly detailed X-ray pictures of your kidneys, ureters, and bladder. The contrast dye helps highlight soft tissues, making it easier for doctors to diagnose conditions like kidney stones or urinary tract abnormalities. Non-ionic contrast is often preferred for patients as it may have a lower risk of allergic reactions.
Test Preparation:
A non-ionic contrast material will be injected into your bloodstream before the X-ray.
Reporting TAT:
24-48 Hours
