title: The radiology of incontinence.
abstract: Incontinence is defined by the International Continence Society (Bates et al, 1979) as an involuntary loss of urine which can be objectively demonstrated and causes a social or hygienic problem. It is therefore both a symptom and a sign. Medical and surgical treatments are available and radiological investigation is helpful in many patients.
