Urinary bladder tumors are neoplasms which present as hematuria and sometimes if the lesion is small, then it becomes difficult to detect. We conducted this study to evaluate to different types of techniques for CT of urinary bladder. One with contrast filled urinary bladder and other with Contrast enhanced urinary bladder with the contrast not in the lumen of urinary bladder. 25 patients were evaluated, 18 of the cases were positive as far as the contrast filled bladder was concerned while 23 patients showed the abnormally enhancing bladder wall. 3 were negative in both techniques and were proven carcinoma on cystoscopy.
