Abstract
It is very important to determine the staging of urinary bladder tumors accurately for selecting an adequate treatment and for indicating the prognosis of the patient. Several types of examination have been proposed for this purpose, including cystoscopy, pyelography, biopsy around the tumor or bimanual palpation under spinal anesthesia. No technique has been available, however, to visualize the extent of tumor infiltration and the depth of tumor penetration in the picture.
