Description: Fistulography is an imaging technique used to visualize the anatomy of a fistula, which is an abnormal connection between two structures, such as organs or blood vessels. This procedure involves injecting a contrast medium into the fistula, followed by obtaining radiographic images. Fistulography allows doctors to assess the shape, size, and location of the fistula, as well as identify possible complications, such as infections or the presence of abnormal tissue. It is especially useful in cases where the fistula is not externally visible or when a more detailed evaluation is required before surgical treatment. The technique is relatively straightforward and is performed in a radiological setting, making it a valuable tool in the diagnosis and management of various medical conditions. The accuracy of fistulography can be crucial for planning surgical interventions, as it provides detailed information that can influence clinical decisions. Additionally, being a minimally invasive procedure, it poses fewer risks compared to other more invasive diagnostic techniques, making it preferable in many clinical cases.
