CEVL Editorial A needs analysis and guide for interpretation of voiding cystourethrogram for trainees

The voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a flagship pediatric urological test which is done to make diagnoses and formulate managements of many common conditions such as urine infection and hydronephrosis, along with monitoring of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) disease. While detecting abnormalities in a VCUG study is important in diagnosis, the clinical context of why the study was ordered, an understanding of a normal VCUG study, as well as how the study is performed are important in clinical management and decision making.
