A comparison of bladder volumes based on treatment planning Computed Tomography and BladderScan ® BVI 6100 ultrasound device in a prostate radiation therapy population.

CONCLUSION: This is the largest study to date (n = 190), assessing the accuracy of the BladderScan® BVI 6100 in the prostate RT population. The BVI 6100 provides an acceptable indication of bladder volume for use in prostate RT patients for the purposes of monitoring bladder volume. Advances in knowledge: The BladderScan® BVI 6100 provides a convenient and non-irradiating method of indicating BV for use in prostate RT patients. PMID: 29888971 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
