[The radiological diagnosis of urinary incontinence in a female (author's transl)].

Basing upon 77 patients examined the lateral cysturethrography with metallic bead chain is demonstrated as a special X-ray method in the diagnostic management of the female urinary incontinence in good reference to its diagnostic value in advance. A methodic limitation to the lateral voiding cysturethrography only means lack of information about the relations of the pathophysiologically important vesico-urethral connection in "relaxed" and "straining" state. The clinical graduation of stress urinary incontinence shows no proportionality in quantity according to the angles of the vesico-urethral connection revealable by roentgenogram.
