There are no echocardiography findings associated with cystitis. Ultrasonography is not done routinely to diagnose cystitis. Ultrasonography is sometimes done to diagnose the suspicion of emphysematous cystitis and for detecting the presence of tumors or stones. Imaging findings for chronic hemorrhagic cystitis due to radiation or chemotherapy include a small fibrosed bladder with a thick wall and resultant hydronephrosis. Calcification is only rarely seen.

Ultrasonography of the urinary bladder can show presence of a gas in the bladder wall. It can also help to detect the presence of a tumor or a stone. Ultrasonography is sometimes used to differentiate various etiologies of lower abdominal pain including emphysematous cystitis, ruptured ectopic pregnancy or appendicitis.^[1][2][3]
