Application of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging for Diagnosis of Female Bladder Neck Obstruction

Conclusions— The bladder neck’s anatomic structure can be observed visually by perineal sonography. Virtual Touch tissue quantification on acoustic radiation force impulse imaging can quantitatively reflect the bladder neck stiffness and change in texture. It could provide a quantitative indicator for clinical diagnosis of female bladder neck obstruction and etiology research and display important clinical values.
