Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A voiding cystogram that reveals an urge to void at a low volume (100 mL) suggests a bladder that may be overactive or hypersensitive, leading to urinary incontinence. This is because the bladder is signaling the need to void at a volume much lower than the normal capacity of approximately 400 to 500 mL.
