Contrast-enhanced projection radiography: Vasovesiculography

Your spermatic duct and your seminal vesicles have been X-rayed. This involved using a contrast agent.

The spermatic duct transports the sperm from the testicles to the urethra. The sperm emerge via the urethra. There is one spermatic duct on each side. The two seminal vesicles sit behind the bladder. The seminal vesicles form a sugary fluid. This fluid is important in enabling the sperm to move.

A contrast agent is a fluid. The contrast agent is intended to help to differentiate the tissues more clearly from one another in the X‑ray examination.
