Validity of Estimation of Pelvic Floor Muscle Activity from Transperineal Ultrasound Imaging in Men
PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between displacement of pelvic floor landmarks observed with transperineal ultrasound imaging and electromyography of the muscles hypothesised to cause the displacements. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three healthy men participated in this study, which included ultrasound imaging of the mid-urethra, urethra-vesical junction, ano-rectal junction and bulb of the ...
متن کاملDynamics of male pelvic floor muscle contraction observed with transperineal ultrasound imaging differ between voluntary and evoked coughs.
Coughing provokes stress urinary incontinence, and voluntary coughs are employed clinically to assess pelvic floor dysfunction. Understanding urethral dynamics during coughing in men is limited, and it is unclear whether voluntary coughs are an appropriate surrogate for spontaneous coughs. We aimed to investigate the dynamics of urethral motion in continent men during voluntary and evoked cough...
متن کاملPelvic Floor Ultrasound
Aims of course/workshop This workshop will familiarize attendees with the basic methodology and clinical uses of pelvic floor ultrasound imaging, both using 2D ultrasound and 3D/ 4D technology, including the detection and assessment of pelvic floor trauma. Depending on local conditions, we may also be able to use live scan demonstrations to illustrate examination methodology and common conditions.
متن کاملDynamics of Male Pelvic Floor Contraction Observed with Transperineal Ultrasound Imaging Differ between Voluntary and Evoked Coughs
Hypothesis / aims of study Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is often provoked by coughing. Voluntary coughs are routinely assessed in clinical and research settings as a method to investigate the response of the muscles of the pelvic floor in patients, including men, who complain of these symptoms. Although there is some data available for women, there has been limited investigation of the con...
متن کاملParallel Beamformation Method to Enhance Ultrasound Images
Contrast resolution and detail resolution are two important parameters in ultrasound imaging. This paper presents a new method to enhance these parameters, simultaneously. A parallel auxiliary beamformer has been employed whose weightings are such that an estimation of the leaked signal through the main beamformer is obtained. Then the output of main beamformer is modified according to the ...
