anterior segment of bladder. Three consecutive axial images with 5-mm section
thickness missed tumor (arrow, B). This was retrospectively
considered to be a partial volume effect of the pubic bone.

Fig. 6 78-year-old man with two adjacent transitional cell
carcinomas in bladder. Coronal reconstruction MDCT scan shows enhancing lesion
at neck of bladder on right side. Lesion corresponded to two adjacent but
separate tumors measuring 8 mm (white arrow) and 15 mm (black
arrow) at cystoscopy.
