Abstract
The staging of bladder carcinoma is most important for treatment and prognosis. Transurethral ultrasound scanning was done with a rotating 6 MHz transducer interchangeable with the optic of a 24F cystoscope. Intravesical ultrasound tomography and computerized tomography were used to treat 28 patients with bladder carcinoma. The correlation between ultrasound and histopathological findings showed that local staging of bladder carcinoma is possible by transurethral scanning.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
