X-Ray Fistulogram is a specialized imaging examination that uses X-ray imaging and a contrast dye to evaluate the course, extent, and connections of a fistula (an abnormal passage between two organs or between an organ and the skin).

Why is a fistulogram performed?

It is performed to determine the location, length, direction, branching, and any internal communication of a fistula, helping doctors diagnose the condition and plan appropriate treatment.

Is the procedure painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during catheter insertion or contrast injection. If the area is inflamed or infected, mild discomfort may occur temporarily.
