EVAL: PVR/Bladder Scan

The PVR/Bladder Scan evaluation is a quick, non-invasive diagnostic service used to measure the amount of urine remaining in the bladder after urination — known as post-void residual (PVR) volume. Elevated PVR can indicate bladder dysfunction, urinary retention, or underlying conditions affecting the urinary tract, prostate, or neurological control of bladder function.

Using ultrasound technology, this scan provides immediate, accurate results without the discomfort of catheterization. It is a valuable tool for identifying issues such as incomplete bladder emptying, overactive bladder, or obstruction, and helps guide appropriate next steps in care.
