Coughing and Valsalva maneuvers were performed at volumes of 150, 250 and 350 mL. Urodynamic examination was performed on multichannel equipment with the patient in the supine position. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied 6 women with genuine stress urinary incontinence, diagnosed by history and physical examination. OBJECTIVES: In this preliminary study we report the development of the video urodynamic technique using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Technique development and preliminary results Urinary incontinence stress urodynamics magnetic resonance imaging In a clinical perspective, practical aspects represent a barrier to daily use and it should be recommended for research purposes. CONCLUSIONS: The concept of MRI video urodynamics is feasible. Mean VLPP was 72.6 cm H2O (ranging from 43 to 122 cm H2O). In 5 patients, urinary leakage was demonstrated during straining and the Valsalva leak point pressure (VLPP) was determined as the vesical pressure at leak subtracted from baseline bladder pressure.
#THE NOTEBOOK SCRIPT SPRINGFIELD REGISTRATION#
RESULTS: Dynamic MRI with cine-loop reconstruction of 1 image per second demonstrated the movement of all compartment of the relaxed pelvis during straining with the concomitant registration of abdominal and intravesical pressures. Both studies were recorded and synchronized, resulting in a single video urodynamic examination. Fluoroscopic imaging was accomplished in the corresponding planes with T2-weighted single shot fast spin echo sequences at a speed of about 1 frame per second.
Simultaneously, MRI was carried out by using 1.5 T GE Signa CV/i high-speed scanner with real time fluoroscopic imaging possibilities.
