BNO-IVP
• Blass = Urinary bladder, Nier = Kidney,
Overzicht = Examination
• Synonim:
– Intravenous urography
– Excretory urography
– Intravenous pyelography
BNO-IVP
• Use contrast media intravenously
• Anatomic function:
– Depict the minor calyx, major calyx, renal pelvis,
ureter, urinary bladder.
• Physiologic function:
– Assess the kidney function in contrast media
filtration and excretion.
BNO-IVP
• Indication
– Evaluate mass or cyst
– Urolithiasis (calculi in the kidney or urinary tract)
– Pyelonephritis
– Glomerulonephritis
– Hydronephrosis
– Trauma
– Renal hypertension

BNO-IVP
Procedure
• 1-3minute
: Nephrogram phase
• Ureteral compression
• 5 minute
: Excretory function
• 15 minute
: Pelvocalyceal system
• Compression can be released if the pelvocalyceal system has
been seen adequately
• 30 minute
: After the compression was released to
see the urinary tract from the kidney
to the bladder
• 45-60 minute
: fullbladder
• Post voiding
: passage of contrast agent
BNO-IVP
Contraindication of compression :
• Suspected stone
• Acute abdomen
• Following abdominal surgery
• Large abdominal mass
• Aortic aneurysm
 Use trendelenburg position instead

– Bipolar Urethrocystography
– Voiding Cystourethrography
– Ultrasonography
– CT Scan

– Hysterosalphingography
Retrograde Urethrography
• To assess the urethra
• The contrast media is injected from the distal
to the proximal part of the urethra (retrograde
or ascending)
Retrograde Urethrography
Indication
• Urethral rupture
• Urethral stricture
• Congenital anomaly
• Urethral fistule
• Urethral diverticle
• Urethral obstruction
• Hematuria
• Recurrent urinary tract infection
• Slow urinary flow
• Urinary mass
Retrograde Urethrography
Contraindication
• Acute urinary tract infection
Retrograde Urethrography
Retrograde Urethrography
Urethral rupture
Retrograde Urethrography
Urethral stricture with periurethral abscess
Retrograde Cystography
• To assess the urinary bladder
• The contrast media is injected through the
urinary catheter into the urinary bladder
• Retrograde to the urinary flow
Retrograde Cystography
Indication
• Recurrent urinary tract infection
• Suspicion of urinary bladder rupture
• Stone
• Mass
• Inflammation
• Diverticle
• Fistule
• Incontinentia
• Hematuria
• Measure the urinary volume post micturition
• Assess the integrity of the anastomosis or suture post
operative
Retrograde Cystography
Contraindication
• Pregnancy
• Urethral rupture (contraindication to the
urinary catheter insertion)
Retrograde Cystography
Retrograde Urethrocystography
• To assess the urinary bladder and the urethra.
• Combination of the retrograde urethrography
and cystography.
• The contrast media is injected through the
external urethral orificium to fill the urethra
and then the urinary bladder.
