Advances in Imaging in Prostate and Bladder Cancer

Abhishek Srivastava et al. Curr Urol Rep. 2017 Sep.

Abstract

Recent advancements in urologic imaging techniques aim to improve the initial detection of urologic malignancies and subsequent recurrence and to more accurately stage disease. This allows the urologist to make better informed treatment decisions. In particular, exciting advances in the imaging of prostate cancer and bladder cancer have recently emerged including the use of dynamic, functional imaging with MRI and PET. In this review, we will explore these imaging modalities, in addition to new sonography techniques and CT, and how they hope to improve the diagnosis and management of prostate and bladder cancer.

Keywords: Bladder cancer; MRI; PET; Prostate cancer; Urologic imaging techniques; Urosurgery.
