Positive contrast cystography, negative contrast cystography, or double contrast cystography was performed on 3 groups of 12 cats, respectively, to examine the radiographic anatomy of the lower urinary trait. Vesiculoureteral reflux was a common feature in younger cats.

In a retrospective study, the results of double-contrast cystography in 45 cats with clinical signs of non-obstructive lower urinary tract disease for which an underlying cause could not be determined were examined. Medical records and double-contrast cystograms performed initially and during 6-...

Six cats and eight dogs were studied. Cystitis was easily diagnosed in cats and dogs with the use of the double contrast cystography technique, which was able to demonstrate the local and diffused thickening of the wall of and defects related to filling of the urinary bladder. All animals recovered ...

Diagnostic imaging is usually required to determine the presence of urolithiasis. Double-contrast cystography is more accurate than survey radiography and approximately as accurate as ultrasonography. Knowledge of the mineral composition of calculi helps direct appropriate management of...

The ultrasonographic findings of urinary bladder urolithiasis are described and the diagnostic value of the technique in feline lower urinary tract diseases (LUTD) was investigated. Physical examination of the urinary system and routine clinicopathological analysis of the blood and urine were...

After a brief description of the normal radiographic anatomy of the bladder and urethra, information is given on patient preparation, sedation, contrast media, catheterization, diagnostic applications (negative-, double- and positive-contrast cystogram), urethrography (retrorade and antegrade)....
