Ascending urethrocystography
It will be performed after instructing the patient to evacuate the bladder. A contrast agent will be infused through the urethra under fluoroscopy, using a urethral catheter or Knutson's clamp at the external urethral meatus. When the bladder is full, an anteroposterior film and two oblique films will be taken. Voiding cystourethrography will be performed as a part of this imaging examination. From this procedure, the following findings may be diagnosed: * Upper urinary tract: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR); laterality and degrees of VUR will be defined. * Bladder: Capacity (defunctionalized, Small-sized or contracted bladder), neurogenic bladder, bladder diverticulum, filling defects, etc. * Urethra: Stricture and filling defects.
