title: [Optical coherence tomography in diagnosis of urinary bladder cancer].
abstract: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was tested in diagnosis of bladder cancer (BC) in 100 BC suspects. This method showed higher sensitivity (by 16%) in diagnosis of BC compared to standard cystoscopy as it more presicely identified squamous intraepithelial and noninvasive tumors. The analysis of OCT images was made with a noval computer program of filtration and color overlay. This improved quality of the image allowed verification or rejection of BC, its localization on urinary bladder wall.
