A Micturating Cystourethrogram is used to show the bladder, urethra and the presence or absence of vesicoureteric reflux. For doing MCU, a dye that can be seen on Xray is put into the bladder using a catheter and its passage watched live on a TV screen. In paediatric urology centres, the paediatric urologist themselves do it to find the answer quickly and gently; a parent usually can be with the child for this 5 to 10 minute
