    What is intravenous urography?
    Intravenous urography (also known as intravenous pyelography) is an X-ray procedure which is used to assess problems in the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra . These structures make up the urinary tract. The urinary tract does not show up well on ordinary X-ray pictures. However, with intravenous urography a contrast dye is injected into a vein ('intravenous' injection). The dye travels in the bloodstream, concentrates in the kidneys, and is passed out into the ureters with urine made by the kidneys.


    The dye blocks X-rays so the structure of the kidneys, ureters and bladder shows up clearly as white on X-ray pictures.


    The X-ray pictures produced are called an intravenous urogram (IVU), but can also be called an intravenous pyelogram (IVP).
