Which radiological procedure is used for studying vesico-ureteric reflux?
The diagnosis of vesico ureteric reflux is made using micturition cystourethrogram. Other techniques used in diagnosing vesico ureteric reflux are simple or delayed cystography or voiding cinefluoroscopy. In a case of vesico ureteral reflux, cystogram may show one of the following findings: Persistently dilated lower ureter, areas of dilatation in the ureter, ureter visualized throughout its entire length shows, presence of hydroureteronephrosis with a narrow juxtavesical ureteral segment or changes of healed pyelonephritis.
