If your doctor has advised a combined RGU and MCU test in Pune, ScanLab Diagnostics at Market Yard can help you get it done with prescription-based booking, doctor-guided preparation, and reports shared directly with your treating physician.
These are specialised contrast X-ray studies used to evaluate the urethra and bladder, and they're usually ordered by a urologist when a clearer picture of the urinary tract is needed.
Understanding the two studies can help you know what your doctor has prescribed and what to expect at the centre.
An RGU is an X-ray study of the urethra. A small amount of contrast dye is introduced through the tip of the urethra so the radiologist can see its full length on X-ray. It is commonly used to check for strictures, injury, or other structural changes.
An MCU looks at the bladder and urethra together. Contrast is passed into the bladder through a thin, soft catheter, and X-ray images are taken as the bladder fills and again as you pass urine.
When ordered together, RGU and MCU can give the urologist a more complete picture of the bladder and urethra. They may be requested particularly for stricture assessment or post-surgical follow-up.
ScanLab Diagnostics brings pathology, imaging, cardiac testing and specialist consultations together under one roof at Marketyard Road, Pune 411037. For a specialised procedure, this can make booking and follow-up more straightforward.
RGU and MCU are prescription-based studies. Our role is to carry out the imaging as advised and provide the report to your treating doctor for interpretation and follow-up.
The exact preparation and technique depend on what your doctor is investigating.
Bring your prescription and inform staff of known allergies, current infections or urinary symptoms.
Preparation instructions are confirmed with you when the appointment is booked.
A catheter is gently placed and contrast is used to outline the bladder and urethra for X-ray images.
X-rays are taken as required for the study. Numbing gel is typically used at catheter insertion.
The catheter is removed after adequate images are obtained. Most patients can resume normal activity the same day unless advised otherwise.
Your doctor may prescribe an RGU and MCU test when a clearer view of the bladder and urethra is needed as part of a urology work-up.
If you're unsure whether this is the right test, that decision sits with your prescribing doctor. ScanLab can help with appointment logistics once you have a prescription.
RGU and MCU are prescription-based procedures. The exact study, preparation and technique depend on your doctor's clinical requirement. Please bring or send the prescription when booking.
