Cyclic vs Voiding exam

Date: Feb 25, 2019

Question:

Physician states he is doing a voiding cystogram (VCUG). In the dictation he states that contrast is injected into the bladder, and during a cyclic exam the urethra is unremarkable. Would you consider this a voiding exam? Is cyclic the same as voiding, or do they have to actually say the "voided, voiding" to get the 77455?
