What is a bladder ultrasound test?
A bladder ultrasound test is used in the urologist’s office to measure the amount of urine in the bladder, to look for stones, to measure the bladder wall thickness, and to look for elevation of the bladder by an enlarged prostate. The most common use of bladder ultrasound is to measure how much urine is left behind in the bladder after you are done urinating, an amount called the post-void residual.
