I have to have a catheter inserted then dye will be injected straight into my bladder then i have to pee on the x ray table. Does any1 know the name of this test?
Urodynamic tests may be performed with or without equipment to take pictures of the bladder during filling and emptying. The imaging equipment may use x rays or sound waves. If x-ray equipment is used, the bladder will be filled with a contrast medium that will show up on the x ray instead of the warm water. The pictures and videos show the size and shape of the urinary tract and help your doctor or nurse understand your problem.
