Overview
Ultrasound is helpful for diagnosis of bladder and pelvic pathologies such as pelvic organ prolapse and bladder neck mobility disorders. . Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of stress urinary incontinence include Urine leakage, Bladder neck funneling, Bladder neck hypermobility and higher urethral angles.
Key Ultrasound Findings in Urinary incontinence
- Ultrasound is helpful for diagnosis of bladder and pelvic pathologies such as pelvic organ prolapse and bladder neck mobility disorders. [1]
- There are some sonographic parameters for diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence, including[1]:
- Urine leakage
- Bladder neck funneling
- Bladder neck hypermobility
- Vesicourethral angle
- Transrectal ultrasound was used to evaluate urethrovesical junction (UVJ) abnormalities. Findings on Transrectal ultrasound suggestive of urinary incontinence include more than 1 cm UVJ drop on straining which shows poor support of bladder neck. [2]
- Urethral rotation angles may be helpful in the diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of urinary incontinence include higher rotation angle α and rotation angle β, which are anterior and posterior urethral angles. [3]
