Abstract
Purpose of Review
Invasive urodynamics are currently used to diagnose disorders of bladder function. However, due to patient discomfort as well as artifacts induced by catheters and non-physiologic filling, less invasive screening tools that can improve diagnostic information, such as ultrasound are required. The purpose of this review is to assess different modalities of ultrasound as applied to functional bladder imaging. This information will help guide future studies in the use of ultrasound during urodynamics.
Recent Findings
Recently, multiple studies have employed ultrasound to evaluate bladder volume, wall thickness, shape, vibrometry, elastography, compliance, biomechanics, and micromotion during urodynamics. These new techniques have used both 2D and 3D ultrasound techniques to evaluate bladder changes during filling. Continued research is needed to confirm ongoing findings prior to widespread incorporation into clinical practice.
Summary
This review demonstrates the potential use of ultrasound as an adjunct to urodynamics for the diagnostic evaluation of functional bladder disorders.
