Abdominal pain – Carcinoma of the urinary bladder

Urothelial carcinomas can occur in the upper or lower urinary tract. To examine the draining urinary tract (renal pelvic calices, ureters), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are among the methods used. CT is the most commonly used imaging technique in the diagnosis of tumors of the urinary system and nowadays offers the possibility of intravenous contrast agent applications and late imaging in addition to the thin-slice technique.
