Abstract :
The study presents a new approach for measuring non-invasively urinary bladder internal pressure which can resolve all the shortcomings of existing methods. The novel method makes use of acoustic cavitation. The theoretical foundation for the proposed technique was presented, together with the preliminary experimental validation. The study claims that the proposed novel non-invasive ultrasonic urinary bladder internal pressure monitoring is feasible and can be used any time regardless of gender, so that it will be of a great benefit to the diagnosis and therapy of urination related diseases.
