Urodynamics support:
– kidneys and bladder exams for infection/ inflammation absence confirmation (B-mode visualization)
– bladder filling confirmation and measurement – before and after uroflowmetry test
Sophisticated and unique features
- bladder contents automatic estimated volume measurement – quick execution: single-click + 2 sec. = result
- semi automatic – multipoint/trace contoured volume measurement – unique and excellent method for often appeared “difficult cases” and small volume bladders
- professional mod WYSIWYG: What You See Is What You Get – non-blindfold measurements (real-time pre-scan)
- diagnostic scanning mode – classical B-mode visualization, for urology (kidneys, bladder) and general abdominal exams
- able to be assessed in the home or community setting
- touch-screen operation, easy and convenient for measurement and control.
Used abbreviations:
PVR – Post Void Residual ; AUR – Acute Urinary Retention; CUR – Chronic Urinary Retention; POUR – Post Operative Urinary Retention
