Voiding cystourethrography with patient in the standing position.

N V Raghavaiah

    The Journal of Urology
    |April 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Performing voiding cystourethrography while patients stand is easier and yields comparable results to the traditional supine method. This standing position technique simplifies the procedure without compromising diagnostic accuracy.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Urology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is a standard diagnostic imaging procedure.
    • Traditionally, VCUG is performed with the patient in a supine position.
    • The supine position can sometimes present challenges in patient positioning and procedure execution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate a modified method for performing voiding cystourethrography.
    • To assess the feasibility and efficacy of conducting VCUG with the patient in a standing position.
    • To compare the outcomes of standing VCUG with the conventional supine technique.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel technique for voiding cystourethrography utilizing a standing patient position is detailed.
    • The procedure involves standard contrast agent administration followed by fluoroscopic imaging during micturition.
    • Patient positioning and image acquisition protocols for the standing method are outlined.

    Main Results:

    • The standing position method for voiding cystourethrography is demonstrated to be significantly easier to perform.
    • Diagnostic image quality and diagnostic accuracy were found to be equivalent to those achieved with the supine method.
    • No compromise in the quality of results was observed when patients were in the standing position.

    Conclusions:

    • Voiding cystourethrography can be effectively and safely performed with patients in a standing position.
    • The standing position offers procedural advantages, simplifying the examination for both patient and clinician.
    • This technique provides a viable alternative to the supine method, maintaining diagnostic standards.
