Clinical uroradiology: the standardisation of terminology for lower urinary tract function and dysfunction.

A key problem in clinical practice and research regards effective communication and comparison of results. This is particularly difficult between different specialities that use different definitions and terms for lower urinary tract dysfunction. We therefore tried to adapt the document on the "Standardisation of Terminology of Lower Urinary Tract Function" prepared by the International Continence Society for radiologists who need to acquire some basic clinical experience in the interpretation of the symptoms and signs encountered during simple urodynamic studies in order to increase the effectiveness of imaging studies of the lower urinary tract in men and women.
