Retrograde Urethrography may help identify congenital
abnormalities of the bladder and the urethra.

Excess Uric Acid (uric acid being an end product of protein
breakdown and is excreted by the kidneys as a waste product)
may be caused by kidney failure

Often Conization of the Cervix is done prior to colposcopy
biopsies

Culdoscopy allows direct visualization of the uterus and fallopian
tubes, broad ligaments, uterosacral ligaments, rectal wall, and
sigmoid colon
T
Human Papilloma Virus in Situ tests for the presence of plantar
warts.
F
Hysterosalpingography includes the use of a radiopaque iodinebased
dye that is injected through the cervix and flows through
the uterus, fallopian tubes, and then the abdominal cavity so that
patency of the fallopian tubes can be determined
T
Hysteroscopy is the removal of the uterus
F
Hysterosalpingography should be done during menstruation (a
women’s period).
F
Mammography uses low-dose x-ray technique to examine breast
tissue.
T
Positioning of the placenta cannot be determined using Obstetric
Sonogram.
F
Fluids are discouraged prior to a transabdominal obstetric
ultrasound since the patient is to have an empty bladder
F
The Pap Smear is another name for the medical test called
Papanicolaou Smear.
T
The Papanicolaou Smear is a screening tool for premalignant and
malignant cervical changes
T
A pelvic sonogram is only done transabdominally-never transvaginally or transrectally
F
Semen analysis is usually part of an infertility workup
T
