Overview
MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of bladder cancer.
MRI
- MRI is superior to other modalities in locally staging the tumor and is in some instances able to distinguish T1 from T2 tumors on T2 weighted image.[1]
- T1: isointense compared to muscle
- T2: slightly hyperintense compared to muscle
- T1 weighted image with gadolinium contrast: demonstrates enhancement
