A loopogram is also called a pouchogram. It is basically an x-ray of your ileal conduit. During the procedure, a Foley catheter is inserted into the urinary conduit / pouch the conduit or reservoir is filled with contrast. That way, possible reflux into the ureters and renal collecting systems may be observed.

You can find typical instructions for this test here:
