Overview
X ray is not usually done to diagnose cystitis. X ray KUB (kidney ureter bladder) is done to probe the suspicion for emphysematous cystitis. In case of emphysematous cystitis, it can show presence of gas in the bladder wall. X ray done for suspicion of other causes of abdominal pain, sometimes reveal gas in the urinary bladder dissecting the bladder wall and thus the diagnosis of emphysematous cystitis. X Ray may also be done to look for tumours or foreign bodies like stones etc while doing diagnostic workup for cystitis.[1][2]
X Ray KUB Findings
An X ray KUB of a patient with emphysematous cystitis can show air/gas in the bladder wall.[1][3]
