Abstract

The authors describe this new videocystourethrography technique which differs from traditional radiographic analysis in its image acquisition system. These radiographic images are first recorded by the image intensifier of a videofluoroscopic system; they are then digitalized, stored, and processed by a computer. They are eventually retranslated into analogical images for the study of female stress incontinence.
