(Table 1)

Intensity Number of patients Minimum Maximum Mean Standard deviation (SD) Intramural urethra 18 0.000 0.040 0.00689 0.009863 Midurethra 18 0.000 0.077 0.01433 0.017617 Distal urethra 18 0.000 0.017 0.00528 0.004921

Table 1. – The intensity of vascularity (the ratio between the area of the vessels detected in color-doppler and the area of ROI) at 3 vascular levels - intramural, midurethra and distal urethra based on the data obtained from files recorded in sagittal section.

(Table 2)

Intensity Number of patients Minimum Maximum Mean Standard deviation (SD) Outer ring 18 0.004 0.131 0.02906 0.029345 Inner ring 18 0.001 0.125 0.03244 0.042521

Table 2. – Intensity of vascularity (the ratio between the area of the vessels detected in color-doppler and the area of ROI) at 2 urethral rings (the outer ring and the inner ring of the urethra) based on the data obtained from files recorded in axial section at the level of midurethra.

(Table 3)

Pair Statistical significance (p<0.05) Intramural urethra - Midurethra 0.47 Intramural urethra - Distal urethra 0.57 Midurethra - Distal urethra 0.43 Outer ring – Inner ring 0.76

Table 3. – Statistical analysis for the significance of the differences in intensity of vascularity among three levels (intramural, midurethra and distal urethra) in sagittal section and two rings (the outer ring and the inner ring of urethra) in axial section.
