Abstract
Objective:
To determine the reliability of fractal analysis of uroflow curves.
Methods:
We analyzed the correlation between the fractional dimension analysis of two series of uroflow curves with an interval of 88.21 days. The fractal dimension was calculated by two methods.
Results:
A good correlation was found for both methods, although it was lower than that of maximum flow. A relationship was found between the fractal dimension and maximum flow.
Conclusions:
The fractional dimension is a reliable parameter that appears to be related with urinary flow.
