| Abstract |
Transperineal ultrasound imaging enables the minimally invasive assessment of pelvic floor muscle function. Although commonly used in women, the approach has rarely been reported in men. This approach has advantages because the midsagittal view visualizes a bony landmark and the entire urethral length. This allows investigation of the displacement of multiple points along the urethra and the unique mechanical actions of multiple muscles that could influence continence. We used a new transperineal ultrasound technique to compare the relative displacement of urethrovesical junction, anorectal junction and distal urethra during voluntary pelvic floor muscle contractions in continent men. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 March 2017.
All research outputs
#16,848,023
of 25,748,735 outputs
Outputs from The Journal of Urology
#60
of 114 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#112,879
of 174,654 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Journal of Urology
#29
of 31 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,748,735 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 114 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 174,654 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 31 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
