Bladder-wall-thickness (BWT) ultrasound assessment in lower urinary tract conditions has been studied extensively for the last 30 years. There is some evidence that it may have diagnostic utility in detrusor overactivity (DO). The cutoff value for BWT for diagnosing DO is still a matter of debate, with different studies using different values. Transvaginal scanning is the most accurate route of measuring BWT, with excellent interobserver variation and reproducibility. There is still ongoing evaluation of bladder ultrasound and its place in the investigation of overactive bladder symptoms.
在过去30年里,针对下尿路疾病的膀胱壁厚度(BWT)超声评估已得到广泛研究。有证据表明,它可能在膀胱逼尿肌过度活动症(DO)的诊断中具有实用价值。诊断DO的BWT临界值仍是一个有争议的问题,不同研究采用了不同的值。经阴道扫描是测量BWT最准确的途径,观察者间差异极小且具有可重复性。目前仍在对膀胱超声及其在膀胱过度活动症症状调查中的作用进行评估。
