What is the medical term meaning record of the bladder and urethra after the bladder is filled with contrast material and x-rays are taken while the patient is expelling urine?

Answer 1

I believe the name you are wanting is "cystourethrogram". "Cysto-" has to do with urinary, e.g. the bladder and kidneys. "-urethro" has to do with the uretha. And the "-gram" refers to the record made.

There is also a "bead chain cystourethrogram" test in which a beaded chain is inserted up the urethra into the bladder and instead of fluid being placed into the bladder, a gas is used; a tracing on paper is made of the bladder pressure and expansion. When the bead chain is removed, the gas is expelled as if urine.

Neither are very comfortable, especially if the bladder walls are infected (interstitial bladder infection).

Answer 2

The medical term for this procedure is cystourethrography. It is a radiographic imaging technique used to visualize the bladder and urethra by filling the bladder with a contrast material and taking X-rays while the patient urinates.
