Dear Ultrasound Insider,
Ultrasound is finding a growing role in analyzing incontinence and bladder tumors, a development evidenced by research presented at the 2004 RSNA meeting in Chicago.
In our Ultrasound Insider Exclusive article this month, contributing writer N. Shivapriya describes how researchers are using ultrasound to demystify the role of the rhabdosphincter in female patients suffering from incontinence. A group from the Innsbruck Medical University in Austria has achieved success using an endoluminal probe for this application.
In another RSNA talk, a team of Russian researchers found 3D virtual endocavity ultrasound (VEUS) to be useful for staging bladder tumors.
