The role of ultrasound and dopplerography in the assessment of lower urinary tract dysfunction (literature review)

Abstract

This review is devoted to the study of the prevalence of symptoms of the lower urinary tract and the justification of the use of non-invasive and accessible methods of their diagnosis with an assessment of not only structural, but functional indicators. These include ultrasound examination of the bladder with the determination of functional and maximum volumes and the calculation of the sensitivity index, quantitative and speed indicators of ureteral emissions using color flow mapping, as well as assessment of the blood flow of detzurosis by means of vascular dopplerography.
