Cystography

In this lesson, we will define cystography and determine how it can help detect disorders of renal system structures.  This is a semi-invasive procedure that has some important nursing interventions and assessments before and after the procedure that will be reviewed.  We will also identify some contraindications for performing cystography based on pre-procedure nursing assessment data.
