3D Sonography
Currently, one of the best tools to peer into the body is ultrasound, and more recently, advanced 3D ultrasound. The high-resolution 3D images produced by these types of scans are truly remarkable.
Color Doppler
This type of Doppler uses a computer to change sound waves into different colors. These colors show the speed and direction of blood flow in real time. Power Doppler, a newer type of color Doppler. It can provide more detail of blood flow than standard color Doppler.
Barium Procedures

Fistulogram
A fistulogram is a special x-ray procedure. It uses contrast (x-ray dye) to look at the blood flow in your fistula or graft (dialysis access). This procedure can check to see if it is blocked or if there is any narrowing (stenosis).
Sinogram
A sinogram is a test to look at a sinus. A sinus is like a fistula. But instead of connecting two organs, it's like a tube that's closed on one end. Both of these tests use X-rays with a special dye that is injected into the area of the fistula or sinus. The dye allows the fistula or sinus to show up on the X-ray.
Micturating Cystourethrography
A micturating cystourethrogram (MCUG) is a scan that shows how well your child's bladder works. It is used to diagnose why your child may have urinary tract infections. It is also used to show up any abnormalities with your child's urinary system.
