Patent ID: 8231552

Claim:
A system for determination of urethral blockage, the system comprising: a transducer arrangement capable of at least receiving acoustic waves, said transducer arrangement being configured such that, when located in a vicinity of a patient's urine flow, the transducer arrangement receives acoustic waves generated by the patient's urine flow at different locations of the urine flow, and produces combined acoustic data indicative of said acoustic waves generated by the patient's urine flow; and a control unit in communication with the transducer arrangement, said control unit being configured and operable for receiving and processing said combined acoustic data generated by the transducer arrangement, generating measured data in a form of the acoustic waves as a function of frequency and time, processing said measured data using predetermined reference data and determining a change in the combined acoustic data indicative of a turbulence of the urine flow caused by the urethral blockage.
