Prospective Diagnostic Accuracy Study Comparing CT and MRI (VI-RADS) for Local Staging of Newly Diagnosed Bladder Cancer
Oslo University Hospital
150 participants

OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This prospective diagnostic accuracy study compares computed tomography (CT) and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using the Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) for local staging of newly diagnosed bladder cancer. All participants undergo both imaging modalities prior to transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT) or cystectomy. Histopathology serves as the reference standard.
