What is the imaging of the urethra called?

The imaging of the urethra is called urethrography. This diagnostic procedure involves the use of X-rays to visualize the urethra after the injection of a contrast dye.

Urethrography can be performed as a retrograde urethrogram (RUG) or a voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), depending on the specific clinical situation.
