ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of CT virtual cystoscopy (CTVC). Me-thods Thirteen patients who had clinical indication were studied. Iodine contrast was intravenously injected after the bladder was voided. Thin-slice spiral CT scanning of the bladder area was started when the bladder became filled with contrast media. By using 3D navigator smooth software, CTVC images were obtained. The findings in all cases were compared with the cystoscopy and surgical results. Results Nine patients with CTVC were proved vesical tumor,3 patients with CTVC were proved benign prostatic hyperplasia, and they were confirmed by cystoscopy,1 patient with cystitis glandularis could not be diagnosed with CTVC.By CTVC, the diagnostic accordance rate was 92.3%,the coincidence rate was 100.0% in vesical tumor. Conclusions CTVC is highly sensitive in displaying the vesical lesions.Being a new and non-invasive technique, CTVC is very helpful in the diagnosis of introvesical diseases. It has fine value in the clinical practice.
