2) oral phenazopyridine (pyridium)
I have an impression that this grug isn't used for diagnostics at all... It's analgesics...
PHENAZOPYRIDINE (Oral) (Tablet)
PHENAZOPYRIDINE (By mouth)
Phenazopyridine (fen-az-oh-PEER-i-deen)
Relieves pain, burning, and discomfort caused by urinary tract infections and other urinary problems.
Brand Name(s):Azo-Standard, Uristat, Phenazo HCl, Pyridiate, Pyridium, Phenazo 95, Prodium, Azo-Gesic, RE-Azo, Azo-Septic, Urinary Pain Relief, Quality Choice Azo, The Medicine Shoppe Azo-Tabs, Baridium, UTI Relief
There may be other brand names for this medicine.

cystogram would be an imaging tech using adye whereas cystoscopy is visualizing the bladder inside with a cystoscope by the doctor.ATleast that is what my impression is. please correct me if i am wrong.
