Overview
X Ray is not usually done to diagnose cystitis. Xray 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]
