“…Palou and colleagues reported that the incidence of synchronous tumor in the upper tract The dystrophic calcification infrequently occurs with the necrotic nature of the bladder tumor. It can be seen as fine speckles of calcification or as a dense calcified nodule within the bladder [10].…”

“…The calcification occurs as a continuous curved line of calcification of the bilharzial bladder wall ( Figure 1 ). The continuation of the linear calcification is disrupted if bladder cancer develops [ 10 ]. Tuberculous calcification of the bladder wall is rare and seen only after healing [ 11 ], but when present, a faint irregular rim of calcium may outline the bladder wall.…”

The evolution in imaging has had an increasing role in the diagnosis, staging and follow up of bladder cancer. Conventional cystoscopy is crucial in the diagnosis of bladder cancer. However, a cystoscopic procedure cannot always depict carcinoma in situ (CIS) or differentiate benign from malignant tumors prior to biopsy. This review will discuss the standard application, novel imaging modalities and their additive role in patients with bladder cancer. Staging can be performed with CT, but distinguishing between T1 and T2 BCa (bladder cancer) cannot be assessed. MRI can distinguish muscle-invasive from non-muscle-invasive tumors with accurate local staging. Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) score is a new diagnostic modality used for the prediction of tumor aggressiveness and therapeutic response. Bone scintigraphy is recommended in patients with muscle-invasive BCa with suspected bony metastases. CT shows low sensitivity for nodal staging; however, PET (Positron Emission Tomography)/CT is superior and highly recommended for restaging and determining therapeutic effect. PET/MRI is a new imaging technique in bladder cancer imaging and its role is promising. Texture analysis has shown significant steps in discriminating low-grade from high-grade bladder cancer. Radiomics could be a reliable method for quantitative assessment of the muscle invasion of bladder cancer.
