Abstract
The accuracy of dynamic transabdominal ultrasonography in the detection of bladder tumors is examined. Of 49 bladder tumors 34 between 2 mm. and several centimeters in size could be demonstrated ultrasonographically. Ultrasound failed to visualize tumors < 5 mm. in size in 14 patients. Dynamic transabdominal ultrasonography cannot replace cystoscopy in the diagnosis of follow-up of patients with bladder tumors but it may be used instead of cystoscopy in some selected cases.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
