A Novel Three-Point Localization Method for Bladder Volume Estimation.

ABSTRACT: The measurement of bladder volume is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of urinary system diseases. Ultrasound imaging, with its non-invasive, radiation-free, and repeatable scanning capabilities, has become the preferred method for measuring residual urine volume. Nevertheless, it still faces some challenges, including complex imaging methods leading to longer measurement times and lower spatial resolution. Here, we propose a novel three-point localization method that does not require ultrasound imaging to calculate bladder volume. A corresponding triple-element ultrasound probe has been designed based on this method, enabling the ultrasound probe to transmit and receive ultrasound waves in three directions. Furthermore, we utilize the Hilbert Transform algorithm to extract the envel
