A Comparative Analysis of Portable Bladder Scanner to Determine Age/ Volume Specific Accuracy in 0-6 Years of Children

Bladder Scanner, or Biocon-900 is an ultrasonic imaging device that has been developed to measure post-void residual volume of the bladder non-invasively. The images and measurements are obtained by applying a probe onto the abdomen (i.e. bladder). As it scans, the scanner constructs 12 cross-sectional images at 15 degree interval using the reflection signals from urine in the bladder and extracts the position of the bladder wall as well. During urodynamic studies, the bladder scan will measure the infused volume in order to assess difference between the infused and scanned volumes.
