What are the clinical benefits of a bladder scanner ?

It is a preventative that helps reduce the possibility of requiring catheterization later due to bladder complications or infection. In addition, it can help discover postoperative complications like uirinary retention or post void residual (PVR).

By using bladder scanner, bladder ultrasound pictures can give doctors valuable information on variables like:

Abnormalities with bladder size ;

Bladder stones;

Cysts and tumors in the bladder;

Fluid collection;

How much urine the bladder can hold;

Urinary tract infections.
