Inclusion Criteria: Healthy Volunteers \- Age 18-80 years old not experiencing any symptoms consistent with LUTS Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with contraindication to MRI and/or GBCA contrast agent. * Currently taking medications with known effects on the bladder, overt neurologic disease other than diabetic neuropathy, urinary tract infection within the last 4 weeks or urinary retention symptoms.
About the study
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).
