What is an "intravenous pyelogram"?
An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) is a medical imaging test used to observe the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. During the test, a special dye is injected into a vein, which then travels through the bloodstream and makes the urinary system visible on X-ray images. This helps doctors see and diagnose problems such as kidney stones, tumors, or blockages. The images produced by the IVP provide detailed views of how well the urinary system is functioning and can help in planning treatment or surgery.
