Solid Pulmonary Nodule (SPN) is defined as parenchymal radiopacity smaller than 3 cm in diameter. Evaluating the metastatic nature of the SPNs detected in the thorax computed tomography (TCT) examination for staging purposes in cancer patients becomes a fundamental problem for the physician. Invasive procedures, additional imaging or follow-up imaging, are often used to differentiate metastatic and non-metastatic nodules. In this study, we aimed to distinguish SPNs detected in patients diagnosed with bladder cancer (BC) as metastatic and non-metastatic nodules by texture analysis.
