What is a voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG)? A voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) allows us to evaluate your child's urethra and bladder size, shape, and capacity. This procedure uses x-rays and a contrasting agent that is administered by catheter into your childâs bladder. A VCUG can also help us determine whether your child has reflux â a condition where urine from the bladder goes upward back to the kidneys.
Finally, after five years of searching, on August 30, 1992, Jewitt and Luu announced the Discovery of the candidate Kuiper belt object (15760) 1992 QB1. Six months later, they discovered a second object in the region, (181708) 1993 FW.
This ring is generally referred to as the Kuiper Belt. The Kuiper Belt holds significance for the study of the planetary system on at least two levels. First, it is likely that the Kuiper Belt objects are extremely primitive remnants from the early accretional phases of the solar system. The inner, dense parts of the pre-planetary disk condensed into the major planets, probably within a few millions to tens of millions of years.
