The invention relate to the demonstration herein that it is feasible to use a transvaginal NIRS probe to interrogate functioning urological tissues, such as the urethral sphincter, the bladder detrusor muscle, and pelvic floor musculature, to obtain clinically relevant information. The present invention accordingly provides methods and devices for transvaginal monitoring or imaging of the urological tissues, such as the urethral sphincter and/or the bladder, and/or pelvic floor musculature, using NIRS.
L'invention porte sur la démonstration du fait qu'il est faisable d'utiliser une sonde transvaginale de spectroscopie de réflectance dans le proche infrarouge (NIRS) pour ausculter des tissus urologiques en fonction, tels que le sphincter urétral, le muscle détrusor de la vessie, et la musculature du plancher pelvien, pour obtenir des informations d'intérêt clinique. La présente invention porte par conséquent sur des procédés et des dispositifs de contrôle transvaginal ou d'imagerie des tissus urologiques, tels que le sphincter urétral et/ou la vessie et/ou la musculature du plancher pelvien, à l'aide d'une NIRS.
