Question 11

True or False:
A patient with an allergy to iodinated contrast material CAN have retrograde cystogram.

Answer 11

True, the contrast media is being put in the body non-intravenously and usually does not elicit an allergic reaction.

Question 12

What type of contrast material is used for retrograde cystogram and why?

Answer 12

Ionic contrast media, often used due to large volume of administration and it’s more cost effective.

Question 13

During retrograde urography, a urologist may inject blue dye intravenously. What is the purpose of this blue dye test?

Answer 13

It makes the ureters and kidneys more easily seen on the x-ray.

Question 14

What happens in a retrograde urogram during the ureterogram phase of the procedure?

Answer 14

• Urologist will take urine samples from here for culture and microscopic examination
• Color dye injected IV to test kidney function
• Amount of time for dye to show up in urine
• Urologist will then inject 3 to 5 mL contrast into the renal pelvis via the catheters under imaging, either fluoroscopic or radiographic

** FIRST**
* Head of bed may be lowered 10 to 15 degree
* To prevent contrast from escaping into ureters

THEN
* Head of bed may be elevated to 35 to 40 for the ureterogram to show tortuous ureters and kidney mobility.
* Contrast is injected as the catheters are pulled back to the distal part of the ureters. (ureterogram)

Question 15

Explain how a retrograde cystogram can become an antegrade procedure.

Answer 15

By asking the patient to void (pass urine) while imaging.

Barium must be completely expelled prior to patients release.

Question 23

Name the 3 layers of uterine tissue

Answer 23

Perimetrium: outer serous layer of the uterus, it secretes a lubricating fluid that helps to reduce friction.
Myometrium (muscle): middle and thickest layer of the uterus wall.
Endometrium: inner lining, glandular layer that makes secretions and lines the uterus.

Question 24

Name the parts of the uterus.

Answer 24

Fundus, body, isthmus and cervix.

Question 25

Explain how a hysterosalpingogram can be a therapeutic procedure

Answer 25
