Understanding Direct radionuclide Cystoureterography (DRCG/DRCUG) Scan
What is Direct radionuclide Cystoureterography (DRCG/DRCUG) Scan?
The Direct radionuclide Cystoureterography (DRCG/DRCUG) Scan test is an imaging procedure that uses a radiotracer material and special cameras to generate images of the urinary bladder during its filling up and emptying to assess disorders.
This test is prescribed by the doctor to evaluate the functioning of the urinary bladder, to detect and diagnose the problems of the urinary bladder and its functioning like urinary reflux, infection, distension, or incomplete emptying. This test is also helpful in assessing conditions affecting the lower urinary tract and following up a case after a kidney transplant.
