ICS is proud to publish this new second edition of the classic medical-physics handbook "Urodynamics: The Mechanics and Hydrodynamics of the Lower Urinary Tract" by Derek Griffiths, originally published in 1980.
We are pleased to announce that we have 1,000 copies to give away to the first 1,000 members who renew their membership for 2015! In order to secure your copy, renew your membership, remembering to tick the book option in the membership shop. Please note only 1 copy per member, unfortunately multiple orders will be ignored.
Order book and Renew Membership
For those members who have already renewed their membership, you can still order your copy by visiting the membership shop.
The aim of this concise introduction to urodynamics is to describe the extent to which clinical observations can be accounted for by simple mechanical concepts, in order to enable medical physicists and bioengineers to interpret their observations of complex pressures and flows in the bladder and urethra. The peculiarities of flow in highly distensible tubes are described, and an explanation of the mechanical behaviour of smooth muscle is given. A prior medical or physiological knowledge is not assumed.
"ICS is extremely grateful for the opportunity to republish this seminal work
by Dr. Derek Griffiths, one of ‘the greats’ in the field. This textbook remains
an essential resource for those with either a clinical or research interest
in hydrodynamics of the lower urinary tract and multi-channel, pressure
subtracted cystometry which was used by many senior ICS members during
their training."
The ICS Board of Trustees would like to thank Derek Griffiths and Pfizer Canada Inc for their support.
