Abstract:
We report on a new ultrasonic cystofiberscope for staging bladder tumors. The endoscope makes it possible to view endoscopic and ultrasound images of bladder tumors at any location, either alternately in full screen or simultaneously on the same monitor, with higher resolution. The cystofiberscope is useful for assessing the depth of bladder tumor invasion accurately.
