(in-tra-VEE-nus PIE-el-o-gram): A series of x-rays of the kidneys and bladder. The x-rays are taken after a dye that shows up on x-ray film in injected into a vein. Also called IVP.
Serial x-rays taken after IV injection of radiopaque dye. Excretion of dye through kidneys allows visualisation of the kidneys for size, location and shape and to evaluate the filling of the kidney pelvis and ureters. (Rarely used.)
Diagnostic technique for examining the urinary system with X-ray images taken after injecting image-enhancing substances into the patient's bloodstream. These injected substances result in greatly improved image quality.

a procedure that obtains X-ray images of the urinary tract system (kidneys, ureters, and bladder) following the injection of a contrast material that enhances the images.
X-ray picture of the kidneys and ureters after injection of a radiopaque dye
an X-ray image of the urinary tract used to help detect an obstruction or abnormality
a type of X-ray examination specifically designed to study the kidneys, bladder, and ureters (the tubes which carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder)
a type of x-ray examination specifically designed to study the kidney s, bladder , and ureter s (the tubes which carry urine from the kidney s to the bladder )
a way to examine the whole urinary tract
A test of the urinary system, using x-rays and a contrast medication. The medication is concentrated in the kidneys allowing the urinary tract to be clearly visible on normal x-ray film.
A technique to evaluate the function of the urinary tract by injecting dye into the tract and then viewing its flow by X-ray.
a special x-ray of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder often used to locate kidney stones.
Radiologic technique using x-rays and contrast material that is giving through the vein but is taken up by the kidney and excreted into the collecting system. An excellent way to visualize the urinary tract to survey for obstruction, stones or tumors.
A conventional x-ray test using dye to examine the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. This x-ray will look at the collecting system of the kidneys to determine the presence of an abnormality.
X-rays of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder taken after a dye is injected into a vein. Also called IVP.
(IVP) an X-ray examination of the kidneys, ureters and bladder.
Also referred to as IVP, intravenous urography or excretory urogram. An X-ray of the urinary tract. A dye is injected to make urine visible on the X-ray and show any blockage in the urinary tract.
An X-ray of the kidney to determine function.
A test that utilizes the injection of a special dye to check for the spread of cancer to the kidneys and bladder.
a test that examines the urinary system using a contrast medium that can be seen on x-rays to show possible obstructions, tumors, cysts, stones, and other abnormalities.
X-ray used to visualize the kidneys and ureters
An X-Ray examination of the kidneys that depends on accumulation and visualization in the kidney of a special substance that is injected into a vein.
(in-tra-VEE-nus PYE-el-o-gram): IVP. A series of x-rays of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. The x-rays are taken after a dye is injected into a blood vessel. The dye is concentrated in the urine, which outlines the kidneys, ureters, and bladder on the x-rays.
(in-tra- veen-us pie- uh-luh-gram): a special kind of x-ray procedure. A dye is injected into the bloodstream. It travels to the kidneys, ureters and bladder and helps to clearly outline these organs on the x-rays. Referred to as IVP.
An x-ray of the kidneys and urinary tract. Structures are made visible by the injection of a substance that blocks x-rays. Also called IVP.
a series of x-rays of the kidney, ureters, and bladder with the injection of a contrast dye into the vein; to detect tumors, abnormalities, kidney stones, or any obstructions, and to assess renal blood flow.
This is a series of X-rays designed to show the inside of the kidneys and urinary system. Traditionally, this was the standard diagnostic tool for evaluation of possible kidney stones and tumors. A small amount of contrast or dye is injected into a vein. This contrast is excreted by the kidneys within five to fifteen minutes. When the contrast appears in the urine, it clearly outlines the shape, size and location of the internal urinary organs. If there is blockage or dilation, it will show up clearly. Virtually all significant stones will be visible either directly on the X-ray or indirectly through the blockage they produce. Also see Excretory Urogram (EXU). Intravenous Pyelogram, venous administration of a contrast medium which is excreted by the kidneys, sometimes called excretory urography, used to demonstrate renal anatomy and function.
An intravenous pyelogram (also known as IVP, pyelography, intravenous urogram or IVU) is a radiological procedure used to visualise disturbances of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Among other uses, IVP can detect kidney stones.
