Ultrasound in the staging of bladder tumours.
The ultrasonic features of 162 bladder tumours are described. Comparing clinical staging by the TNM system and the ultrasonic appearances, there is a high degree of accuracy in staging by ultrasound. The use of this painless non-invasive technique is assessed and should be used in staging bladder tumours only in conjunction with other established methods, and not in isolation.
