IVP (intravenous pyelogram) is an x-ray of the urinary system that uses a contrast medium to help visualize the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. It can be used to diagnose conditions such as BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia). CT scans are not typically used for diagnosing BPH, PSA (prostate-specific antigen) tests are a blood test to screen for prostate cancer, and TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) is a surgical treatment for BPH rather than a diagnostic test.
