Optical Coherence Tomography as a Tool for In Vivo Staging and Grading of Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: A Study of Diagnostic Accuracy

Abstract

This report describes optical coherence tomography as a real-time, intraoperatively diagnostic modality in the diagnostic evaluation of upper tract urothelial carcinoma. We confirmed the ability of optical coherence tomography to visualize, grade and stage urothelial carcinoma in the upper urinary tract.
