[Radioimmunoscintigraphy and magnetic resonance tomography in the diagnosis of urinary bladder cancer]. / Radioimmunoszintigraphie und Magnetresonanz-tomographie in der Diagnostik des Harnblasenkarzinoms.

Magnetic resonance tomography is a method which is sufficiently precise to demonstrate morphological changes for tumor staging of carcinoma of the urinary bladder. The stage of the tumor was correct in 68 resp. 86% of the patients. The RIS shows organ and lymph node metastases and has the capability to differentiating between scar and tumor after transurethral resection. The local spread, especially the infiltration depth of the tumor, is not visible. In 90% of the patients a primary tumor was detected, only in 5 cases a false-negative and in 2 cases a false-positive finding was made.
