A urogram is an imaging study used to assess parts of the urinary tract, including the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.
Doctors may request a urogram for blood in the urine, recurrent urinary infections, suspected urinary blockage, kidney-area pain, or a concern about a mass or structural problem in the urinary tract.
It helps when doctors need to look carefully at the urinary collecting system, trace urine flow, and check for stones, blockage, tumors, or anatomical abnormalities.
Depending on the test type, CT or contrast-based imaging helps show obstruction, stones, masses, or structural abnormalities.
What happens next depends on the cause found and may involve urology care, follow-up imaging, or procedure-based treatment.
This entry explains the procedure. Before you go, read the longer prep guide or find a centre that performs it.
