CT - Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP)
Intravenous pyelography (IVP) is used to examine the "urinary tract", that is the kidneys, ureters and bladder. Using an IVP we can look at the size and outline of the kidneys, get an idea of how well they function, see the inside structure (kidney "pelvis" and "calyces"), make sure both ureters are doing their job of transferring urine from the kidneys to the bladder, and look at the outline of the urinary bladder.
