CYSTOGRAMS & VCUGIndications?

• CHILDREN• ADULT• MALE :

– AP, OBL’s (30º to 40º rotation)– & LAT

• FEMALE – AP, OBL’s (40º to 60º rotation)

• FLUORO OR• OVERHEADS

CYSTOGRAMS (only) : (CONE DOWN ON THE BLADDER)

• FOR FEMALES - 10 X 12 CW – • CR 2" above PS (2" below ASIS) Crosswise • Perpendicular CR only (no angles) - • AP, BOTH OBLIQUES (40-60 degrees) - so just use 40degrees (LATERAL ?)

FOR MALES -10 X 12 LW – AP, BOTH OBLIQUES (30 -40 degrees) • CR centered AT PS • For LATERAL only - CR 2" above PS (2" below ASIS)• (The book was somewhat confusing - the lateral (pg 222) showing a male patient - is shown as the same centering as for

the Female pg 221 - but the male information starts on page 223)

VCUG ONLY :VOIDING CYSTO URETHROGRAMS

• Need to cone down on bladder to include urethra and distal ureters (for reflux)

FOR FEMALES & MALES - 11x14 LW – (BUT - cone down as needed for the SIZE of the patient) see page 223 & 224

• Perpendicular CR only (no angles) - • ONE OBLIQUE (RPO OR LPO) – (40 degrees) • TAKE IMAGE WHILE VOIDING - CR CENTERING JUST ABOVE

THE PS (PUBIC SYMPHYSIS) FOR BOTH MALE AND FEMALE

• (you would never use a 14 x 17 for cystograms, unless the refulux went all the way to the kidneys are you were instructed to do so by the Radiologist)
