Abstract

Uroflowmetry serves as a preliminary urodynamic test for physicians to indicate the possible cause of lower urinary tract symptoms. Alongside the most researched parameter maximum flow rate (Qmax), the shape of urine flow rate curve is also reported to associate with one or more voiding abnormalities [1]. Therefore, this novel study aims at by mathematically generating free-flow shape template in specified diagnostic groups, bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and detrusor underactivity (DU), to assess its possibility for non-invasive diagnostic use.
