Purpose: The purpose of this exhibit is to present the application technique using 3D volumetric US for bladder lesions and demonstration of various bladder pathologic conditions of bladder cancer and other benign lesions.
Materials and Methods: We will be using case material from our institute to illustrate the imaging findings. We have collected imaging data during 2 years in patients with bladder cancer and other benign conditions.
Results: we will present application technique of 3D volumetric US for bladder lesions and present of assessment for sonographic findings of bladder lesions including bladder tumor (various stage tumors and perivesical infiltration) and benign lesions mimicking bladder cancer such as bladder stone, focal cystitis, hemorrhagic cystitis, trabeculation, prominent UV junction, and extrinsic indentation for pelvic mass.
Conclusion: 3D Volumetric reconstructed US in patients with bladder tumor is a safe and useful technique. The assessments using 3D volumetric reconstructed US make it easier to distinguish bladder cancer and its mimickers.
