    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Radiology
    • Renal Physiology

    Background:

    • Urography is essential for investigating rat renal function alongside other methods.
    • Intravenous urography in rats is challenging due to difficult vein access (tail or femoral).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate intramuscular urography as a simpler, reliable alternative for radiographic examination of rat kidneys and ureters.

    Main Methods:

    • Intramuscular urography was performed on 40 rats under general anesthesia.
    • Contrast medium was injected into the gluteal muscles.

    Main Results:

    • Dense nephrograms were obtained, clearly visualizing the renal parenchyma.
    • Optimal radiographic films of the calices and ureters were achieved approximately 40 minutes post-injection.

    Conclusions:

    • Intramuscular urography is a practical and effective method for assessing renal morphology and physiology in rats.
    • This technique simplifies the radiographic examination of the kidneys and ureters in rodent research.
