Pyelogram (or pyelography or urography) is a form of imaging of the renal pelvis, Kidney and ureter.

Types include:

Intravenous pyelogram – In which a contrast solution is introduced through a vein into the circulatory system.
Retrograde pyelogram – Any pyelogram in which contrast medium is introduced from the lower urinary tract and flows toward the Kidney (i.e. in a "retrograde" direction, against the normal flow of urine).
Anterograde pyelogram (also antegrade pyelogram) – A pyelogram where a contrast medium passes from the Kidneys toward the bladder, mimicking the normal flow of urine.
