Ultrasound Assessment of Detrusor Thickness in Men—Can it Predict Bladder Outlet Obstruction and Replace Pressure Flow Study?

Abstract

In men with LUTS without prior treatment and/or neurological disorders, ultrasonographically assessed detrusor thickness 2.9 mm or greater has a high predictive value for BOO and can replace PFS for the diagnosis of BOO. However, this cutoff value needs to be validated in a larger study population.
