Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP). The most common of all urologic studies and is also commonly referred to as excretory urogram. It is a test that uses contrast agent (dye) that is injected into a vein to outline the kidneys, ureters and bladder on an X-ray. A urologist is likely to order this test if a patient complains of pain in their side, blood in the urine (hematuria) or any stone-related symptoms. It may also be utilized as a screening test to prompt your urologist to obtain another imaging test for further information.
