Question: why is a vcug performed?
Answer: A VCUG, or a voiding cystourethrogram, is a minimally invasive test that uses a special x-ray technology called fluoroscopy to visualize your child's urinary tract and bladder. A VCUG can help: diagnose vesicoureteral reflux - a condition in which urine flows the wrong way, from the bladder back up to the kidneys.
