FAQs

What is a Loopogram?

A Loopogram is a contrast-enhanced X-ray examination used to evaluate an ileal conduit (urinary diversion) after bladder surgery. A water-soluble contrast agent is introduced through the stoma (urostomy opening) to assess the urinary diversion and upper urinary tract.

Why is a Loopogram performed?

A Loopogram is commonly performed to evaluate urinary leakage, ureteric obstruction, narrowing (strictures), recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), hydronephrosis, stones, postoperative complications, and other abnormalities affecting the ileal conduit or urinary tract.

Which structures are examined during a Loopogram?

The examination evaluates the ileal conduit, ureters, uretero-intestinal junctions, kidneys (renal collecting systems), stoma, and the flow of urine through the urinary diversion.

Can a Loopogram detect urinary leakage?

Yes. A Loopogram can identify leakage of contrast material from the ileal conduit or urinary tract, helping diagnose postoperative urinary leaks.

Can a Loopogram detect kidney swelling (hydronephrosis)?

Yes. The examination can demonstrate hydronephrosis, which may occur when urine flow is blocked or restricted.
