A special X-ray examination of your urinary system (kidneys, ureters and bladder). The X-rays are taken after a contrast agent or dye is injected into a blood vessel. The dye is concentrated in the urine, which outlines the kidneys, ureters, and bladder on the X-rays. Also called intravenous urogram (IVU).
