Abstract

Urinary bladder carcinoma is one of the most common tumors among the lower urinary tract, it is the seventh common malignancy and widely distributed in developed countries. Early depiction of urinary bladder carcinoma and Precise preoperative staging is the most important element in select the appropriate management of urinary bladder carcinoma. There are many imaging modalities for evaluating the urinary bladder, conventional cystoscopy known as the method playing a key role in the depiction and follow-up of bladder carcinoma but has limitations such as being invasive, expensive, time-consuming technique, coupled with urinary tract infections, perforation. Another drawback of cystoscopy is the relatively low reported sensitivity for detection of urinary bladder tumors especially flat and sessile shapes.
