Abstract

Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) demonstrates the anatomy of the urinary system and is used to detect the presence/absence of vesicoureteral reflux. It is the most important modality for urological fluoroscopic examination in children. For improved patient care, it is important to understand and perform VCUG appropriately. Therefore, an in-depth review of VCUG protocols and techniques has been presented herein. In addition, tips, tricks, and pitfalls associated with the technique have also been addressed.

배뇨방광요도조영술은 소아의 비뇨기과적 투시 검사에서 가장 중요한 검사이다. 배뇨방광요도조영술로 비뇨기계의 해부학적 구조와, 방광 요관 역류의 유무를 검사할 수 있다. 환자치료의 궁극적인 목표를 달성하려면 배뇨방광요도조영술을 적절하게 이해하고 수행하는 것이 중요하다. 이에, 심층적인 배뇨방광요도조영술의 술기 순서 및 기법에 대해 소개하였다. 또한, 배뇨방광요도조영술과 관련된 요령과 함정들을 다루었다.
