ABSTRACT
Urodynamic parameters do not correlate very precisely with urological symptoms of the lower urinary tract. Possibly, the combination of urodynamics with dynamic imaging of the brain can improve this correlation with the symptoms, which may influence the diagnostic process of functional urology. After a brief summary of the physiology of the micturition cycle, this chapter will discuss the present state of clinical research on dynamic imaging in urology and what is necessary to give fMRI an essential biomarker role in the diagnostic decision process before treatment. Finally, expectations about future developments are expressed.
