Urinary bladder: normal appearance and mimics of malignancy at CT urography
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this review article is to learn how to recognize anatomic variants and benign entities that mimic bladder cancer at computed tomography (CT) urography. Building on recent data that suggest that CT urography can be used to diagnose bladder cancer, recognition of anatomic variants and benign entities will help improve radiologists' ability to diagnose bladder cancer.

Inf lammatory pseudotumor of the urinary bladder is a rare entity that mimics a malignant bladder tumor both clinically and radiographically. We report a 66-year-old man, presented with gross haematuria. Intravenous urography (IVU), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) al l demonstrated a pedunculated polypoid mass originated from the dome of the bladder and invaded th...

OBJECTIVE To prospectively evaluate the ability of CT urography with a low-dose multi-phasic excretory phase for opacification of the urinary system. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-two patients underwent CT urography with low-dose multi-phasic s using adaptive iterative dose reduction 3D acquired at 5-, 10-, and 15-minute delays. Opacification scores of the upper urinary tracts and the urinary ...

BACKGROUND With growing ketamine abuse, ketamine-induced uropathy (KIU) has become more prevalent in recent years. This research evaluates the presence, distribution and extent of KIU in the upper and lower urinary tracts by retrospectively reviewing CT urography (CTU) images. METHODS Patients diagnosed with KIU who underwent CT scanning from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2011 were recruited....
متن کاملTransitional cell carcinoma of the upper urinary tract: spectrum of imaging findings.
Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) accounts for up to 10% of neoplasms of the upper urinary tract and usually manifests as hematuria. Imaging plays an important role in assessment of upper tract disease, unlike in bladder TCC, diagnosis of which is usually made at cystoscopy. Traditional imaging modalities, such as excretory urography, retrograde pyelography, and ultrasonography, still play pivo...
