“…In addition, the multiplanar US allows imaging of the size, location, content, and configuration of the diverticulum. Also, in the case of surgical planning, US allows the diverticulum neck can to be evaluated, together with the presence of calculi in sac [20].…”

“…In the past, US was identified as a technique of approach and guidance for the evaluation of LUT, but it is now recognized worldwide as the investigation of choice allowing precise diagnosis of many pathological conditions of the LUT, usually obviating the need for further radiological examinations. For instance, Transabdominal US is a cheap and easy modality to evaluate structural abnormalities of the bladder, stone disease of the bladder, postvoid residual urine (PVR) or vesico-ureteral junction, neoplasms and inflammatory disorders [20].…”

“…With regards to urethral neoplasms, MRI can reveal different characteristics of the different types of the neoplasms (see Figure 2). These neoplasms of the urethra appear as more heterogeneous lobulated, deeply infiltrating or exophytic lesions [20]. Urethral hypermobility can also be identified on both MR imaging and US, and it has been linked with stress urinary incontinence in women [42].…”

“…Positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are powerful non-invasive tools utilized in the study of the supraspinal control of the LUT directly through imaging of the brain. fMRI measures the changing proportion of deoxygenated and oxygenated hemoglobin in activated brain centers, while PET needs the injection of a radioactive isotope that will accumulate in a metabolically active brain region [20]. fMRI has a superb spatial and temporal resolution but needs multiple runs of the same event to increase signal-tonoise ratio, while PET is very sensitive for small changes in neural activity but not able to detect rapid changes in brain metabolism [42,43].…”

Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction - From Evidence to Clinical Practice

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is common in both men and women, and the incidence and prevalence increases as people age. Commonly observed symptoms of LUTD include nocturia, urgency, urinary incontinence and frequency of voiding. Recognizing the key role accurate monitoring and evaluation of LUTD play in the day-today assessment of the condition, this chapter will explore the diagnostic capabilities of imaging modalities including MRI, ultrasound and fluoroscopy in assessing bladder wall thickness (BWT), detrusor wall thickness (DWT) and estimation of bladder weight both in real-time and static positions, and finally analyze their suitability as surrogates for bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) or detrusor overactivity (DO).

“…The goal of radiation exposure “as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA)” should be kept in mind . Transabdominal ultrasonography should be carried out as a screening test for upper and lower urinary tract abnormalities . Cystourethrography is useful for showing VUR and grading bladder deformity according to Ogawa’s classification (Fig.…”

Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of lower urinary tract dysfunction in patients with spinal cord injury

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The present article is an abridged English translation of the Japanese clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of lower urinary tract dysfunction in patients with spinal cord injury updated as of July 2019. The patients are adult spinal cord injured patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction; special consideration of pediatric and elderly populations is presented separately. The target audience is healthcare providers who are engaged in the medical care of patients with spinal cord injury. The mandatory assessment includes medical history, physical examination, frequency‐volume chart, urinalysis, blood chemistry, transabdominal ultrasonography, measurement of post‐void residual urine, uroflowmetry and video‐urodynamic study. Optional assessments include questionnaires on the quality of life, renal scintigraphy and cystourethroscopy. The presence or absence of risk factors for renal damage and symptomatic urinary tract infection affects urinary management, as well as pharmacological treatments. Further treatment is recommended if the maximum conservative treatment fails to improve or prevent renal damage and symptomatic urinary tract infection. In addition, management of urinary incontinence should be considered individually in patients with risk factors for urinary incontinence and decreased quality of life.
