Cystography

Bladder scan

A normal value is no reflux or other abnormal urine flow, and no obstruction to the flow of urine occurs. The bladder empties completely.

• Vesicoureteric reflux (backflow of urine) may be revealed when the bladder is full or during urination.
• Incomplete emptying may be the result of urethral obstruction, most commonly related to an enlarged prostate gland (men).
• The test may show abnormal bladder response to pressure, which could indicate a neurologic abnormality or other disorder.
