Explanation

A fistulogram is a type of medical test that doctors use to examine and diagnose problems in abnormal passages or connections in the body, known as fistulas. These fistulas can occur between two organs or between an organ and the skin. During a fistulogram, a special dye is injected into the fistula, and then X-ray images are taken to see the dye's path. This helps doctors understand the size, shape, and position of the fistula.
