Radiother Oncol. 2009 Nov;93(2):364-7. doi: 10.1016/j.radonc.2009.09.003. Epub 2009 Oct 1.

Abstract

A technique was developed for bladder tumour demarcation with lipiodol injection through a flexible cystoscope. The technique proved to be simple and useful for image-guided radiotherapy in bladder cancer as well as a helpful aid in the tumour delineation process.
