    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Urology
    • Patient Comfort

    Background:

    • Voiding cystourethrography (VCU) can cause patient embarrassment, hindering successful imaging.
    • Difficulty voiding in a clinical setting is a common issue for some patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an innovative device to facilitate natural voiding during VCU.
    • To improve patient dignity and reduce examination-related anxiety.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel, gourd-shaped urinary pot, the "VCU pot," was designed using a vinyl chloride plate.
    • The VCU pot is positioned between the patient's thighs and suspended from the shoulders.
    • Imaging is performed in standing or squatting positions with the pot concealed under a gown.

    Main Results:

    • The VCU pot allows patients to void without shame or embarrassment.
    • Examiners can adjust patient positioning easily without assistance.
    • The device is convenient, low-cost, and facilitates successful VCU.

    Conclusions:

    • The VCU pot is an effective and practical solution for improving the VCU procedure.
    • This innovation enhances patient comfort and aids in obtaining clear imaging results.
    • The VCU pot offers a low-cost, convenient method for urological examinations.
