A cystourethrography is a procedure to take an X-ray picture of the urinary bladder and urethra. It is made using contrast media to allow specific structures to stand out in the X-ray. This picture is called a cystourethrogram.
Cysto- means a bladder. Urethro- pertains to the urethra (the tube from the urinary bladder to the outside of your body).

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?
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).
