Quantitative Analysis of Enhanced Computed Tomography in Differentiating Cystitis Glandularis and Bladder Cancer

Figure 1

(a–c) A 37-year-old man had CG that presented as mound-like lesions in the left lateral wall of the bladder, including the trigone. The enhanced CT values of the lesions in the arterial, venous, and delayed phases were 43.3, 57.8, and 49.8 HU, respectively. The enhanced CT values in the bladder wall in these three phases were 30.2, 38.9, and 32.5 HU, respectively. The relative enhanced CT values (calculated as ) in the arterial, venous, and delayed phases were 13.1, 18.9, and 17.3 HU, respectively.
