Urography is an imaging investigation used to evaluate the urinary tract in detail, including the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. The test involves the intravenous injection of an iodine-based contrast agent that highlights the urinary tract structure and helps detect any abnormalities. At Topmed Medical Center Târgu Mureș, urography is performed using modern, high-performance equipment that provides clear and precise images to correctly diagnose diseases of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.
This method is essential for detecting and monitoring urinary tract diseases such as kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), tumors, infections, ureteral obstructions, or congenital anomalies. Urography provides detailed information about the anatomy and function of the kidneys and the entire urinary system, serving as a reliable diagnostic tool for complex urinary problems.
Urography is recommended in a variety of clinical situations to evaluate the urinary tract in the presence of the following symptoms or conditions:
Helps identify stones in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder and assesses their size and location.
For frequent infections, urography can provide information on underlying structural or functional causes.
Helps detect and localize tumorous or cystic lesions in the ureters or bladder.
If blood appears in the urine, urography can help identify the source of bleeding, whether it is infection, stone, or tumor.
Suitable for assessing ureteral or bladder strictures or obstructions that cause pain, urination problems, or impaired kidney function.
Helps detect anatomical abnormalities that affect normal urinary tract function.
At Topmed Medical Center Târgu Mureș, urography is performed by trained specialists using modern, high-performance equipment to deliver high-quality images. The investigation proceeds in several steps:
The patient lies comfortably on the examination table, then an iodine-based contrast agent is injected intravenously to highlight the urinary tract on X-ray images.
After the contrast injection, X-rays are taken at specific intervals to track the contrast medium as it travels through the urinary tract and is eliminated in the urine. These images provide detailed information about the anatomy and function of the urinary system.
At the end of the investigation, the radiologist analyzes the images to identify any abnormalities or diseases. Results are stored digitally, and the patient receives the images on CD to share with their treating physician.
To ensure clear, high-quality images, proper preparation is required. At Topmed Medical Center, the patient receives detailed instructions to follow:
The most modern imaging devices that deliver clear and detailed images of the urinary tract, facilitating accurate diagnosis.
Digitally processed investigations, with images delivered to the patient on CD for easy analysis by their doctor.
A safe test with minimal discomfort. The contrast agent is well tolerated by most patients, and radiation exposure is low.
Collaboration among urologists, nephrologists, and radiologists ensures comprehensive assessment and the development of an appropriate treatment plan.
