Description

Staging of the urinary bladder neoplasms is based on precise demonstration of morphology of the tumor and surrounding structures including normal bladder wall. Computed tomography is recognized as an accurate non-invasive technique for evaluating urinary bladder tumors and its extravesical extensions on condition that the bladder is filled with appropriate -contrast materials. Although the gas filled method has been commonly used and it shows an appreciable diagnostic value, gas itself sometimes produces significant artifacts which mask the vesical wall and the extravesical structures. The authors proved the olive oil as a suitable contrast material for CT of the urinary bladder by experiment and clinical application. Our new method can demonstrate the intraluminal tumor, vesical wall and extravesical tumor extensions more precisely than the ordinary method using the gas or positive contrast materials.
