Urological Investigations (IVP, RGU)

At Ganpati Diagnostic Centre, Adilabad, we provide specialised Urological Investigations such as IVP and RGU to evaluate the kidneys, urinary tract, bladder, and urethra in detail. These tests are highly useful in diagnosing urinary blockages, infections, kidney function issues, and other urological conditions.

All investigations are performed with proper safety protocols and accurate reporting under the expert supervision of Dr. Raju Ramekar (MBBS, DMRD), a senior radiologist with 25+ years of experience in diagnostic imaging.

What are IVP and RGU Tests?

IVP (Intravenous Pyelogram)

IVP is a special contrast X-ray test where a dye is injected into a vein. X-ray images are then taken to see how the dye travels through:

• Kidneys

• Ureters

• Urinary bladder

This helps assess kidney function and detect blockages or stones.

RGU (Retrograde Urethrogram)

RGU is a contrast study used to examine the urethra, mainly in male patients. It helps detect:

• Urethral narrowing (stricture)

• Injury

• Blockage

• Abnormal urethral structure
