Use of Quantitative T2-Weighted and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Texture Features of Bladder Cancer and Extravesical Fat for Local Tumor Staging After Transurethral Resection.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to determine whether quantitative T2-weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) texture features of bladder cancer and extravesical fat are predictive of muscle invasive bladder cancer (category ≥ T2) and extravesical (category ≥ T3) disease after transurethral resection of a bladder tumor (TURBT). MATERIALS AND METHODS. In this retrospective study, 36 patients (27 men, nine women; mean …
