Automated Ultrasound‐Based Analysis of Urethral Kinematics in Stress Urinary Incontinence: A Pilot Study

Our results demonstrate that the automated method is capable of capturing urethral mobility characteristics associated with SUI. Significant inter-individual variability in both continent and SUI groups indicates that urethral kinematics are heterogeneous. The detailed kinematic data have the potential to identify distinct sub-types of urethral mobility, facilitating systematic comparisons with underlying structural and neuromuscular defects. This approach can move clinical evaluation from simple group comparisons toward personalized SUI diagnosis and targeted treatment selection. Future studies with larger sample sizes and inclusion of additional pelvic floor conditions will be needed to validate these findings and advance their translation into clinical practice.

Abstract

Our results demonstrate that the automated method is capable of capturing urethral mobility characteristics associated with SUI. Significant inter-individual variability in both continent and SUI groups indicates that urethral kinematics are heterogeneous. The detailed kinematic data have the potential to identify distinct sub-types of urethral mobility, facilitating systematic comparisons with underlying structural and neuromuscular defects. This approach can move clinical evaluation from simple group comparisons toward personalized SUI diagnosis and targeted treatment selection. Future studies with larger sample sizes and inclusion of additional pelvic floor conditions will be needed to validate these findings and advance their translation into clinical practice.
