| Zusammenfassung: | The conventional concept of uroflowmetry (UFM) is to equip the urine-receiving container like a toilet device (s) with various sensors. A UFM device based on an airborne ultrasound continuous wave Doppler system was developed to satisfy the need of measuring urinary flow anytime and anywhere in an easy, natural, and repeated manner. It is a non-contact, indirect measuring device that can be easily worn by the test subjects who urinate. The prototype of the new UFM device was used to collect urination data from normal adult volunteers. Data could be collected with the new UFM device, and the Doppler spectrum (urination pattern) could be evaluated in chronological order for each volunteer's urination. It was confirmed from the examination of effectiveness that there is a potential for the clinical application of the new device, but at the present stage it is not yet clinically applicable. The results obtained suggest that the device may greatly change the concept of urodynamics, depending on future progress. However, accuracy in collecting samples and analyzing data will have to be further improved using the latest engineering technology |
