Overview
Ultrasonography is not done routinely to diagnose cystitis. Ultrasonography is sometimes done to diagnose the suspicion of emphysematous cystitis and for detecting the presence of tutors or stones.[1]Imaging findings for chronic hemorrhagic cystitis due to radiation or chemotherapy include a small fibrosed bladder with a thick wall and resultant hydronephrosis. Calcification is only rarely seen.[2]
Ultrasonography Findings
Ultrasonography of the urinary bladder can show presence of a gas in the bladder wall. It can also help to detect the presence of a tumour or a stone. Ultrasonography is sometimes used to differentiate various aetiologies of lower abdominal pain including emphysematous cystitis, ruptured ectopic pregnancy or appendicitis.Invalid parameter in <ref> tag
