Abstract
Viscoelastic models of bladder function have been in existence for many years. Often, such models are referred to either a simple spherical geometric model of the bladder, or to a analytic (but still simplified) model. Here, the authors describe the application of an older viscoelastic model to an anatomically accurate geometry derived from the Visible Human dataset
