The imaging of the urethra is called urethrography. This diagnostic procedure involves the use of X-rays to visualize the urethra after the injection of a contrast dye. It helps in diagnosing conditions such as strictures, tears, or abnormalities in the urethra. Urethrography can be performed as a retrograde urethrogram (RUG) or a voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), depending on the specific clinical situation.
