Intravenous Urography

Intravenous urography, also known as IVP, is a medical imaging procedure used to examine the kidneys, bladder, and urinary tract. It involves injecting a special dye into a vein, which travels through the bloodstream and highlights these organs on X-ray images. This helps doctors identify issues such as blockages, stones, or structural abnormalities. The procedure is typically quick, with images taken at various stages as the dye moves through the urinary system. It provides valuable information to diagnose and plan treatment for urinary conditions.
