MICTURATING CYSTOURETHROGRAPHY- A PICTORIAL ESSAY

Abstract

Micturating cystourethrography (MCUG) is a commonly performed examination in the radiology department, especially pediatric radiology. It gives information which may not be obtained by any other imaging modality. It must be performed with utmost care and under strict aseptic precautions in order to minimize infections and patient distress. In this pictorial essay we aim to discuss most of the common abnormalities that can be picked up on the MCUG test. Keywords: Micturating cystourethrography; Posterior urethral valves; Vescico-ureteric reflux.
