- "Bladder cancer tends to show peak enhancement with the 60-second scanning delay. Multidetector row helical CT is useful in the detection and staging of bladder cancer."

- "Sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of perivesical invasion were 89% and 95% respectively, in 67 patients and increased to 92% and 98% respectively, in 44 patients with a time interval of 7 or more days between TURP and CT."

- "The cancer detection rate and positive predictive value for cancer detection was 97% and 95% respectively, in 67 patients and increased to 100% and 100% in 44 patients with a time interval of 7 or more days between TURP and CT."
