What is a X-RAY SINOGRAM/FISTULOGRAM?

X-Ray Sinogram/Fistulogram is a specialized contrast-enhanced imaging procedure used to evaluate and map abnormal sinus tracts or fistulas within the body. During the examination, a contrast dye is gently introduced into the external opening of the tract, followed by X-ray imaging or fluoroscopy to clearly visualize its course, size, shape, extent, and any connections with surrounding tissues or organs. The procedure helps diagnose chronic infections, postoperative sinus tracts, abscess-related pathways, and abnormal communications between body structures, supporting accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical management.
