A bladder scanner is a portable, hand-held ultrasound device thatcan perform a quick, easy, and non-invasive scan of the bladder. The scanner has an ultrasound probe and transducer to reflect sound waves from the patient's bladder to the scanner. The data is then transmitted to a computer in the handheld unit to automatically calculate the bladder volume. Bladder scanning is painless for the patient, and eliminates the risks associated with unnecessary catheterization. The entire scan takes only a couple of minutes to complete, and does not require operation by a sonographer, and may prevent unnecessary invasive procedures.
