Abstract

The first synchronization of urodynamics with cineradiography was in the in the early 1950s through the pioneering efforts of E.R. Miller [1, 2]. The initial goal was to minimize the radiation exposure to the patient during cystourethrography. At first the patient exposure was high when movies were taken, but with the advent of image intensifiers, video transduction, and later videotape recording the patient exposure was reduced. This permitted bursts of continuous activity to be recorded during critical phases of lower urinary tract activity without overexposing the patient. Today most studies can be done with less than 1 minute of fluoroscopy time [3]. These developments contributed a wealth of information to our knowledge about lower urinary tract function and dysfunction. Modern videourodynamic techniques incorporate fluoroscopy with the evolution of the urodynamic machine from a strip chart recorder to a microcomputer.
