    A retrograde urethrogram involves inserting a Foley catheter into the penile urethra, inflating the balloon, injecting 20 ml of diluted contrast medium, and taking an x-ray to visualize the urethra. A catheter cystogram involves inserting a catheter further into the bladder, injecting 300 ml of diluted contrast medium into the bladder via the catheter, taking x-rays before and after evacuating the contrast to visualize the bladder. Both procedures typically take place in the resuscitation room using pelvis x-rays.

    Retrograde Urethrogram:

    • Usually in Resuscitation room.


    • X-ray plate under pelvis.
    • 20 ml dilute IV contrast medium (10 ml contrast + 10 ml saline).
    • Balloon of small Foley catheter into penile meatus and gently inflated.
    • Hold catheter in place and inject contrast.
    • AP Pelvis x-ray taken. Additional lateral if possible.

    Catheter Cystogram:
    • Usually in Resuscitation room.
    • X-ray plate under pelvis.
    • 300ml dilute IV contrast medium (150 ml contrast + 150 ml saline).
    • Push catheter in a further 2-3 cm so balloon not blocking bladder neck.
    • Inject contrast down catheter with bladder syringe and clamp catheter.
    • AP Pelvis x-ray taken. Additional lateral if possible.
    • Evacuate contrast and repeat AP Pelvis x-ray.
