What Does IVP Stand For?

IVP stands for Intravenous Pyelogram

IVP, or Intravenous Pyelogram, is a radiological imaging technique used to visualize the urinary tract, including the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. In this procedure, a contrast dye is injected into a patient's intravenous line, allowing for clear imaging of the urinary system through X-rays taken at specific intervals. IVP is commonly utilized to diagnose conditions such as kidney stones, tumors, and urinary obstructions.
