Normal Images

Indirect isotope cystography allows the evaluation of vesicoureteral reflux and bladder function in physiological conditions because the bladder filling occurs physiologically, it does not require bladder catheterization, but it is less sensitive than direct cystography and radiological cystography.
 

INDICATIONS:

1) Vesicoureteral reflux monitoring.
2)  Bladder emptying assessment
