bladder volume

The Vscan Extend Bladder App is a protocol enabled measurement tool for calculating urinary bladder volumes. The protocol includes an edge-detection algorithm that suggests and automatically places the measure calipers for transverse and sagittal view. You can accept or manually adjust these measurements to get the bladder volume. Use the app anytime during the scan. It suggests caliper placement based on the real-time image. You can switch the standard views at any time. It produces a urinary bladder volume measurement, activated in the same way as traditional workflow. You’ll have the ability to accept or manually adjust measurements.
