MR adds value to urodynamics for imaging stress urinary incontinence
By Shalmali Pal
The spectrum of abnormalities detected at MRI in women with stress urinary incontinence can be classified into two categories: findings related to urethral sphincter deficiency (ISD) and/or urethral hypermobility (UH). Researchers from Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions assessed if MR findings could predict whether a patient had ISD or UH, and if those results could be correlated with urodynamics.
