Bilateral pyelograms is a medical term referring to a type of imaging test that looks at both of your kidneys and the tubes that carry urine from your kidneys to your bladder.

The dye helps to highlight these areas on the X-ray images, making it easier for doctors to see if there are any problems or abnormalities.
