Potential clinical feasibility of synthetic MRI in bladder tumors: a comparative study with conventional MRI.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide quantitative information about inherent tissue properties and synthesize tailored contrast-weighted images simultaneously in a single scan. This study aimed to investigate the clinical feasibility of synthetic MRI in bladder tumors.

Methods

A total of 47 patients (37 males; mean age: 66±10 years old) with postoperative pathology-confirmed papillary urothelial neoplasms of the bladder were enrolled in this retrospective study. A 2-dimensional (2D) multi-dynamic multi-echo pulse sequence was performed for synthetic MRI at 3T. The overall image quality, lesion conspicuity, contrast resolution, resolution of subtle anatomic structures, motion artifact, blurring, and graininess of images were subjectively evaluated
