Accuracy of bladder volume determinations in children using a suprapubic ultrasonic bi-planar technique.
Accurate residual urine determination is an important measurement in children. We developed a suprapubic ultrasonic method using a bi-planar volume estimation technique to obtain this information in a noninvasive manner. Our data confirm that this method accurately detects an empty bladder in children and can provide reliable estimates of bladder volume.
