I'm not sure either. Having your bladder and pelvic area x-rayed means to me that your are going to have either a CT scan of your lower abdomen and pelvis or a cystogram where the dye is injected directly into the bladder through a catheter. Assuming that it is a CT scan, you will most likely need intravenous contrast material.
Other ways of looking at the structures in the pelvis include ultrasound and MRI.
