About this trial
The purpose of this research is to develop an ultrasound (US) based urodynamics (UDS) evaluation of voiding based on successful magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-UDS evaluation. Both US and MRI are non-invasive imaging techniques, but US is a more cost-effective and widely available technology. 80 participants will be enrolled and will be on study for up to 2.5 hours (1.5 hour MRI and 1 hour US).
