Accuracy of ultrasound estimates of urine volume.
Ultrascan and actual catheterization volumes were compared on 48 urology, general surgery, and rehabilitation patients. The findings suggest that mean scan and actual urine volumes can be considered equal. In clinical situations where it is necessary to determine residual urine volume, the bladder scan technology is a good alternative to an invasive catheterization procedure.
