    Transrectal gray-scale sonography is an effective, radiation-free imaging tool for evaluating bladder neuromuscular dysfunction. This ultrasound method offers diagnostic benefits comparable to radiography and reveals prostate conditions and seminal vesicle enlargement.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Medical Ultrasound

    Background:

    • Neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder affects urinary function.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.
    • Existing diagnostic methods may have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the efficacy of transrectal real-time gray-scale sonography for bladder neuromuscular dysfunction.
    • To compare sonographic voiding cystourethrography with radiographic methods.
    • To identify potential benefits and novel observations of the sonographic technique.

    Main Methods:

    • 32 men with suspected bladder neuromuscular dysfunction underwent sonographic and radiographic voiding cystourethrography.
    • Urodynamic studies were performed concurrently.

  • Transrectal real-time gray-scale sonography was utilized.
  • Main Results:

    • Sonography provided radiation-free imaging.
    • Diagnostic accuracy was comparable, and sometimes superior, to radiography.
    • Drug effects on bladder function were easily assessed.
    • Urethral length measurements were accurate.
    • Prostate conditions (BPH, carcinoma, calculi) were visualized.
    • Seminal vesicle enlargement was observed in 10 patients on phenoxybenzamine, potentially indicating sterility.

    Conclusions:

    • Transrectal sonographic voiding cystourethrography is a valuable, radiation-free diagnostic tool for bladder neuromuscular dysfunction.
    • It offers advantages over traditional radiography, including visualization of prostate pathology and seminal vesicle changes.
    • This technique enhances diagnostic capabilities and aids in understanding drug-induced effects.
