METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING BLADDER ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY TO DIAGNOSE BLADDER DYSFUNCTION

摘要

A method of diagnosing bladder pathology uses Vesico Internal Sphincter ElectroMyogram (VISEMG) waveforms obtained from a plurality of VISEMG electrodes (82) disposed on a patient. The VISEMG waveforms are converted to noninvasive (NI) urodynamic graphs. Further, a programmed computer (96) assesses the condition of the bladder (69) based on the VISEMG waveforms.
