A Urodynamic study is a diagnostic procedure that tests the bladder to measure bladder pressure and urine flow. It shows how well the bladder empties and how urine flows out. This test is done without ionising radiation when it is done without X-ray guidance. The study can help diagnose incontinence or poor urine stream. Patients need to follow the center's instructions, and most do not need special preparation. The test takes 30 to 60 minutes. No ionising radiation is used when it is done without X-ray guidance. The results must be interpreted by a qualified health worker. This is a diagnostic procedure.
