title: Ultrasonography of the lower urinary tract.
abstract: Ultrasound evaluation in urogynaecology has evolved. Comparison with the old standard, lateral chain urethrocystography, as well as basic investigations of the sonographic technique and standardizations have created a basis for a new imaging standard and for further developments in urogynaecology. The recent progress indicates that sonography holds the key to the future of imaging in urogynaecology.
