Abstract

BACKGROUND: Urodynamics monitors various parameters while the urinary bladder fills and empties, to diagnose functional or anatomic disorders of the lower urinary tract. It is an invasive and complex test with technical challenges, and it needs rigorous quality assessment and training of clinicians to avoid misdiagnosis. Applying AI to urodynamic pattern recognition and noisy data signals seems promising.
