Transitional cell carcinoma of bladder
- 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
Transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis
- Transitional cell carcinomas are isointense to renal parenchyma on both T1 and T2 weighted images. Following administration of Gadolinium, TCCs enhance but less so than normal renal parenchyma.
- T1 : Isointense to renal parenchyma
- Moderate enhancement on gadolinium
