Abstract :
In Urology the quantification of urethral resistance is important for a correct diagnosis and treatment planning. Presently such quantification is based on invasive measurements. In this report data is presented to support the hypothesis that a non-invasive measurement method can he based on external recording of sound produced in the urethra during voiding
