Bladder Function

BF 0
BF 0
BF_0: When measuring bladder volume find the largest dimensions in both planes, the vaginal stripe serves as a landmark for reproducibility between sessions
BF 1a
BF 1a
BF_1a: Pre-void observation, vaginal stripe as a landmark
BF 1b
BF 1b
BF_1b: Post void observation, no need to measure secondary to complete emptying, note lack of clear boundaries of bladder
BF 2a
BF 2a
BF_2a: Pre-void measurement using horizontal and vertical axes
BF 2b
BF 2b
BF_2b: Third dimension, same patient as the previous image, the bladder appears much higher volume than 121cc, the patient subsequently voided over 225cc
BF 3a
BF 3a
BF_3a: Post-void measurement using horizontal and vertical axes
BF 3b
BF 3b
BF_3b: Third dimension, same patient as the previous image, 33cc appears accurate
BF 4a
BF 4a
BF_4a: Pre-void oblique measurement
BF 4b
BF 4b
BF_4b: Third dimension, same patient as the previous image, 81cc appears accurate, the patient subsequently voided 90cc, oblique measurements for a full bladder appear to be superior
BF 5a
BF 5a
BF_5a: Pre-void measurement, horizontal and vertical axes
BF 5b
BF 5b
BF_5b: Third plane, same patient as the previous image, 158cc (less than 6 oz) appears inaccurate,
BF 5c
BF 5c
BF_5c: The same patient, utilizing oblique measurements
BF 5d
BF 5d
BF_5d: Third dimension, same patient as previous images, 316cc, a subsequent void was over 300cc, oblique measurements appear to be superior for a full bladder
BF 6a
BF 6a
BF_6a: Same patient, post-void, horizontal and vertical axes
BF 6c
BF 6c
BF_6b: Third dimension, same patient as previous images, 15cc appears accurate. When the bladder is empty, straight plane measurements are accurate
BF 6b
BF 6b
BF_6c: Same patient, third dimension utilizing oblique dimensions, 90cc appears to be an inaccurate volume for this empty bladder
