Videourodynaaminen
Videourodynaaminen, often referred to as videourodynamic studies or VUDS, is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate bladder function. It combines traditional urodynamic testing with real-time imaging, typically fluoroscopy, to visualize the urinary tract during the filling and voiding phases. This allows healthcare professionals to assess not only the pressures and flow rates within the bladder and urethra but also the anatomical changes occurring simultaneously.
The procedure involves inserting a small catheter into the bladder to fill it with a contrast medium,
Videourodynaaminen studies are particularly useful in diagnosing complex lower urinary tract disorders. These include neurogenic bladder
