There are procedures that can provide some information about the lining of the bladder, for example, x rays; however, none of these provide as much information to the doctor as a cystoscopy.
Alternative procedures to cystoscopy include ultrasound imaging, CT scan, MRI, and urine tests like urinalysis or urine culture. These tests can help evaluate the urinary system without the need for inserting a scope into the bladder.

Cystoscopy
The suffix of "cystoscopy" is "-scopy," which comes from the Greek word "skopein," meaning "to look" or "to examine." In medical terminology, "-scopy" indicates a procedure that involves visual examination, typically using an instrument. In this case, cystoscopy refers to the examination of the bladder through a specialized scope.
