X-ray Nephrogram

What is an X-ray Nephrogram Test?

A nephrogram is a nuclear medicine diagnostic test. An injectable radioactive substance that can be taken up and secreted by the kidneys is delivered (i.v.). Then a unique camera is put behind the torso, above the kidneys. This camera picks up radioactive drug signals. The test results are the product of computerized processing. The Nephrogram describes the structure and function of the kidneys.

Why is it done? 

Your urologist may request a Nephrogram to determine:

• Other imaging tests (e.g., an ultrasound or a CT scan) have revealed signs of urinary blockage.

• To investigate various congenital urinary tract problems.
