Abstract
Ultrasound is the most widely used imaging modality in the assessment of male voiding dysfunction. The lower urinary tract can be in imaged by transabdominal, transrectal, and transperineal approaches. There is an emerging role of transperineal ultrasound in pelvic floor physiotherapy and also in the evaluation of male sling, especially in failed sling cases. Common applications of ultrasound in lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction include measurement of post-void residual volume, prostate size, bladder wall thickness, and intravesical protrusion of the prostate (IPP). IPP measurement by transabdominal ultrasound of the bladder base is the most established non-invasive imaging parameter in the diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO).
