A record of the bladder and urethra obtained by filling the bladder with contrast material and taking radiographs while the patient is expelling urine is called a voiding cystourethrogram. Options A (cystic sonogram) and B (cystic tomogram) do involve imaging the urinary system, but they are not specific to the bladder and urethra during urination. Option C (percutaneous biopsy) involves obtaining a tissue sample using a needle inserted through the skin, which is not related to imaging the urinary system.
