An ultrasound system and method to measure an organ wall weight and mass. When the organ is a bladder, a bladder weight (UEBW) is determined using three- dimensional ultrasound imaging that is acquired using a hand-held or machine controlled ultrasound transceiver. The infravesical region of the bladder is delineated on this 3D data set to enable the calculation of urine volume and the bladder surface area. The outer anterior wall of the bladder is delineated to enable the calculation of the bladder wall thickness (BWT). The UEBW is calculated as a product of the bladder surface area, the bladder wall thickness, and the bladder wall specific gravity.
L'invention concerne un système ultrasonore et un procédé permettant de mesurer le poids et la masse d'une paroi d'organe. Lorsque l'organe est la vessie, on détermine le poids de ladite vessie (UEBW) par imagerie ultrasonore tridimensionnelle acquise au moyen d'un émetteur-récepteur portable ou commandé par une machine. On délimite la région infravésicale de la vessie sur un ensemble de données 3D afin de permettre le calcul du volume d'urine et de la zone de surface de ladite vessie. On délimite la paroi antérieure extérieure afin de permettre le calcul de l'épaisseur de la paroi de vessie (BWT). On calcule UEBW comme étant un produit de la zone de surface et de l'épaisseur de la vessie et de la gravité spécifique de la paroi de ladite vessie.
