US Imaging for the Assessment of LUTS

Ultrasound Imaging for the Assessment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

Sponsor

University of Wisconsin, Madison

Enrollment

80 participants

Start Date

Nov 28, 2023

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms BPH

Summary

The purpose of this research is to develop an ultrasound (US) based urodynamics (UDS) evaluation of voiding based on successful magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-UDS evaluation. Both US and MRI are non-invasive imaging techniques, but US is a more cost-effective and widely available technology. 80 participants will be enrolled and will be on study for up to 2.5 hours (1.5 hour MRI and 1 hour US).

Eligibility
