Voiding cystourethrogram, X-rays C018 / 0465
Voiding cystourethrogram. Three coloured X-rays showing a 65 year old patient undergoing a voiding cystourethrogram. This procedure involves liquid containing a radio-opaque dye being placed in the bladder via a urinary catheter (left). The bladder is then X-rayed as the patient empties the bladder (centre and right). It is used to diagnose vesicoureteral reflux, the backwards flow of urine from the bladder to the kidneys

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of a voiding cystourethrogram, showcasing three colored X-rays of a 65-year-old patient undergoing this diagnostic procedure. The image showcases the expertise and precision involved in investigating medical conditions related to the urinary system. In this particular test, a liquid containing a radio-opaque dye is carefully introduced into the bladder through a urinary catheter on the left side of the image. As the patient empties their bladder, two subsequent X-rays are taken from different angles (centre and right) to observe any abnormalities or irregularities in real-time. Primarily used to diagnose vesicoureteral reflux, which involves urine flowing backward from the bladder to the kidneys, this procedure plays an essential role in identifying potential issues within the urinary system. By utilizing advanced radiography techniques and fluoroscopy technology, urologists can gain valuable insights into patients' conditions for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. The photograph not only highlights significant medical advancements but also emphasizes human anatomy's complexity by focusing on key elements such as urethra, pelvis, and urinary bladder. This visual representation serves as an invaluable tool for both medical professionals and individuals seeking knowledge about diagnostic procedures associated with urination-related concerns. ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has expertly captured this momentous occasion in healthcare history while ensuring that privacy remains intact throughout its use.
