cystogram phase

Last reviewed 01/2018

The cystogram phase is the part of an intravenous urogram where the contrast fills the bladder.

Intravesical filling defects may arise due to:

• tumour
• stone
• clot
• the prostate - bilobed, from below
• ureterocoele, especially in the presence of a duplex system
• renal papillary necrosis
• catheter - the balloon inflated in the bladder
