Method and system for on-line measurement, storage, retrieval and analysis of urodynamical data

摘要

A computerized urological diagnostic system for use, for example, in preoperative assessment of prostatectomy candidates or in therapeutical measures in patients (males and females) with voiding complaints. The system (10) includes a digital processor (12), a database (14), suitable input/output devices (22,24), and flow rate and pressure transducers (26;28,30) for measuring the patient's isometric detrusor pressure immediately before voiding and for measuring the detrusor pressure and the flow rate during micturition. These signals are processed and displayed to provide the clinician with objective data of bladder contractility and urethral resistance in order to establish an adequate treatment decision.
