What Is a Cystogram?
Cystography can show curved indentations at the bottom of the bladder, or see the shadow of the tumor protruding upward, and its edges are often smooth and neat, and it can also become slightly leafy. The posterior urethra is deformed by compression, showing elongation, stenosis, and increased normal curvature. In addition, it can be seen that the bladder changes caused by chronic obstruction such as tapered bladder and irregular edges.
- Cystography is a method of inserting a catheter into the bladder and injecting 100-200ml of 3% -6% sodium iodide solution to make the bladder develop. It is mainly used to diagnose bladder tumor, bladder diverticulum, external compression, such as prostate hypertrophy and other diseases.

Normal cystogram
- Cystography can show curved indentations at the bottom of the bladder, or see the shadow of the tumor protruding upward, and its edges are often smooth and neat, and it can also become slightly leafy. The posterior urethra is deformed by compression, showing elongation, stenosis, and increased normal curvature. In addition, it can be seen that the bladder changes caused by chronic obstruction such as tapered bladder and irregular edges.
Clinical significance of cystography
- Cystography can show curved indentations at the bottom of the bladder, or see the shadow of the tumor protruding upward, and its edges are often smooth and neat, and it can also become slightly leafy. The posterior urethra is deformed by compression, showing elongation, stenosis, and increased normal curvature. In addition, it can be seen that the bladder changes caused by chronic obstruction such as tapered bladder and irregular edges. Radiological images of the ureter or kidney area are evidence of reflux. Any definite increase in radiation in the ureter or kidney is indicative of bladder urine regurgitation. It is mainly used to diagnose bladder tumor, bladder diverticulum, external compression, such as prostate hypertrophy and other diseases.
Cystography considerations
- Before inspection: Iodine allergy test. After the inspection: Drink plenty of water, and you can also use some antibiotics to prevent urinary tract infections. Generally strict aseptic operation is fine. Contraindications: (1) Contrast agent allergy. (2) Urinary tract infection. (3) When there is major bleeding, wait for the bleeding to stop.
Cystography
- Inserting the urinary catheter into the anterior urethra, or directly injecting the syringe against the urethral orifice, and injecting 12.5% sodium iodide or 15% -25% diatrizoate can show the pathological changes in the male urethra. At the end of the excretory urography, urethral photography of the urinary period can also be performed for urethral angiography of the excretion method.
Cystography- related diseases
- Pediatric posterior urethral valve, urinary incontinence, bladder neck contracture, interstitial cystitis, menopausal urinary incontinence, repeated penis, pediatric urinary tract obstruction, colon diverticulosis, renal tuberculosis, cystitis
Cystography related symptoms
- Drowning is frequent and frequent, redness and astringency, pain in the bladder area before and after urination, bladder swelling, increased residual bladder volume, bladder diverticulum, bladder neck obstruction in women, bladder tuberculosis, bladder irritation, bladder fibrosis
