Summary

This study introduces miction urethrosonography (MUS), a 3D ultrasound technique for imaging the male urethra. MUS offers a safer, repeatable alternative to X-ray methods for diagnosing urethral strictures and other conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • X-ray imaging like urethrogram (UG) and miction cystourethrogram (MCU) are standard for urethral diagnosis.
  • These methods involve radiation exposure and potential complications from contrast media and catheterization.

Observation:

  • A novel sonography technique provides real-time, three-dimensional morphological and functional imaging of the entire male urethra.
  • This technique is termed miction urethrosonography (MUS).

Findings:

  • MUS offers advantages over X-ray methods, including repeatability, lower invasiveness, and no radiation exposure.
  • It avoids complications such as iodine-induced contrast reactions and urethral mucosa lesions.

Implications:

  • Miction urethrosonography (MUS) is effective for screening urethral strictures and diagnosing miction difficulties.
