Intravenous Pyelography (IVP), also known as intravenous urography, is a type of X-ray imaging technique used to evaluate the urinary tract, including the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. It is primarily used to assess the structure and function of the kidneys and urinary system to diagnose conditions such as kidney stones, tumors, infections, or structural abnormalities. IVP involves the injection of a contrast dye (radiopaque contrast medium) into a vein, which is then filtered by the kidneys and excreted into the urinary tract, allowing for detailed X-ray imaging.

What is an IVP X-Ray?

An IVP (Intravenous Pyelography) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses contrast dye and X-ray imaging to evaluate the urinary tract.

The contrast dye is injected into a vein. As it moves through the kidneys and urinary tract, X-ray images are taken at timed intervals to track the flow of urine.

This helps doctors identify abnormalities clearly.

Why is an IVP Test Done?

Doctors recommend IVP to diagnose several urinary tract conditions.
