Intravenous Pyelography (IVP)

Intravenous Pyelography (IVP) is performed using a 300 mA high-frequency system with Fujifilm Digital Radiography (DR), equipped with vertical and horizontal bucky, enabling contrast-enhanced evaluation of the urinary tract.

IVP is a contrast X-ray study used for detailed assessment of the kidneys, ureters and urinary bladder:

• Suspected urinary tract obstruction

• Evaluation of kidney stones

• Hematuria (blood in urine)

• Recurrent urinary infections

• Assessment of urinary tract anatomy

• Follow-up of known urological conditions

🔍 What Does IVP Assess

• Kidneys – size, shape and function

• Ureters – course, obstruction or dilatation

• Urinary bladder – contour and filling defects

• Contrast excretion – renal function assessment

• Structural abnormalities
