New Imaging Techniques on the Horizon to Study Overactive and Neurogenic Bladder.

Purpose Of Review: This review will focus on the current usage and the potential future applications of new imaging techniques on the horizon to study overactive and neurogenic bladder.

Recent Findings: Bladder Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used to non-invasively identify bladder outlet obstruction, detrusor overactivity, and other forms of voiding dysfunction, but motion artifact has been a limiting factor preventing widespread adaptation. However, newer NIRS units employ accelerometers which enable isolation and splicing of motion and on-going studies show renewed promise for bladder NIRS.
