THE DIAGNOSTIC VALUE OF PORTABLE BLADDER VOLUME MEASUREMENT SYSTEM WITH REAL BLADDER IMAGE N THE MEASUREMENT OF BLADDER VOLUME

초록

Interpretation of results Volume estimation using this BVMS showed very good agreement with true volumes at both 10 and 30 degree craniocaudal angles of the transducer. At more than 250 ml of bladder volume, volume estimation at 30 degree craniocaudal angles of the transducer rather than 10 degree is recommended because of FOV limitation on ultrasound. Concluding message Volume estimation using this BVMS is recommendable to use as an alternative to catheterization for the determination of bladder volume before and after voiding. The results from the different angles of the transducer demonstrated the necessity to standardize these procedures for volume estimation by BVMS.
