The contrast medium is slowly injected or dripped in. The level of bladder filling is observed by taking intermittent images using fluoroscopy. The early filling of the bladder should be monitored carefully to detect any accidental placement of the catheter in the distal ureter or vagina and to detect any reflux of contrast into the ureters ...
