Micturition detection switch.
Micturating renograms often need to be carried out on children, with whom difficulty may be experienced in synchronizing onset of micturition with camera and computer acquisition. A flow detection system has been developed which will automate these acquisitions, resulting in far fewer false starts or lost studies. The unit was developed specifically for the camera/computer system in our department (IGE 400T and DEC 11/34) but with only minor modifications would be suitable for interfacing to other equipment. It is a free standing unit which requires no modifications of the camera or computer circuitry apart from access to the remote start buttons.
