- 小児泌尿器科
- 医療用イメージング
- 尿動力学
背景:
- 膀機能の評価は標準ですが,幼い子供では難しいです.
- 現在の方法では,尿流量測定装置に座ることができない子供の流量を測定することはできません.
- これは小児患者の膀および尿道機能の完全な評価を制限する.
研究 の 目的:
- ビデオ・ウロダイナミックX線画像から尿の流れ率を導き出す方法の開発と検証.
- 小児の膀と尿道機能の正確な評価を可能にする.
- 小児群の圧力流量ベースの尿道抵抗測定を容易にする.
主な方法:
- 子供における50のビデオ尿動力学研究の遡及分析
- X線画像のマニュアルセグメンテーション
- 分割された画像を計算されたフローレート (ビデオフロー) に変換するアルゴリズム.
- ビデオフローと標準的な尿流量測定の比較
主要な成果:
- ビデオフローと標準の尿流量測定の間で高い交差関係 (0. 98) がある.
- 最小バイアス (+0.1 mL/s) で正確なビデオフロー最大フロー率 (Qmax)

Urodynamic Studies: Uroflowmetry
534
Uroflowmetry is a non-invasive urodynamic test designed to measure various aspects of urination, including volume, flow rate, and the time to void. This test is crucial for diagnosing and assessing conditions such as bladder outlet obstruction, bladder dysfunction, incomplete bladder emptying, incontinence, and urinary tract blockages caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and urethral strictures.Pre-Test Instructions:Before a uroflowmetry test, patients are typically advised to drink...

Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...

IntroductionIntravenous Urography (IVU) and Retrograde Pyelography (RP) are important diagnostic imaging techniques used to evaluate the urinary system. These methods help identify structural abnormalities, obstructions, and functional issues in the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Both procedures use iodine-based contrast media to enhance the visibility of urinary tract structures on X-ray images, though they differ in their methods and indications.1.

Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) StudiesKidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) studies are standard diagnostic imaging procedures used to assess the anatomy of the urinary system. They are commonly utilized for patients experiencing abdominal pain or urinary symptoms. By using a simple X-ray of the abdomen, KUB studies can reveal structural and pathological abnormalities within the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. These studies are particularly valuable in diagnosing kidney stones, urinary...

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...
