压力性尿失禁（SUI）是一种常见的泌尿系统疾病。SUI是一个严重的医疗、社会和经济问题，影响着约12.5%的人口。为UPP开发了一种新型微尖端导管，其特点是与目前临床使用的系统相比，具有倾角传感器和更高的角分辨率。由此，可以确定每个测量的压力样本的位置并且重建尿道内的空间压力分布。为了评估来自微头端导管的数据的性能和可重复性，我们将其与来自双球囊充气系统的数据进行比较。
Urethral pressure profilometry (UPP) is used in the diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). SUI is a significant medical, social, and economic problem, affecting about 12.5% of the population. A novel microtip catheter was developed for UPP featuring an inclination sensor and higher angular resolution compared to systems in clinical use today. Therewith, the location of each measured pressure sample can be determined and the spatial pressure distribution inside the urethra reconstructed. In order to assess the performance and plausibility of data from the microtip catheter, we compare it to data from a double balloon air charged system.
