ICS Detrusor/flow plot

The ICS detrusor/flow plot is divided into three areas:

Obstructed

Equivocal

and

Unobstructed

. The Obstructed and Unobstructed areas give a clear

result. The maximum flow rate is indicated in the plot as a dot. When this dot is

in the Obstructed or Unobstructed area, the result is obvious. However, when
the dot is in the Equivocal area, the outcome is not clear.

Schäfer Detrusor/flow plot

The Schäfer detrusor/flow plot shows an x-y plot of detrusor pressure related
to the urinary flow rate. It serves as an aid for diagnosing bladder outlet
obstruction.

Click the

Det/flow plot (Schäfer)

button or, from the menu, choose
