Micturating cystourethrography

Micturating cystourethrography is an X-ray procedure utilized to examine the bladder during the process of urination. It is commonly employed in young children to identify abnormal reflux of urine, characterized by the backflow of urine up the ureters, specifically when the bladder is emptying. By capturing X-ray images during this dynamic process, healthcare professionals can assess the urinary system, detect any abnormalities, and determine the presence of vesicoureteric reflux. Micturating cystourethrography serves as a valuable diagnostic tool, particularly in the evaluation of urinary issues in pediatric patients.
