Abstract: The aim of this review was to assess the role of computed tomography (CT) virtual cystoscopy (VC) in the diagnosing and evaluating urinary bladder carcinomas lesions. Comprehensive search through most popular database; PubMed was performed for all articles on Urinary bladder tumors diagnosis using computed tomography (CT) virtual cystoscopy (VC) imaging technique published in English language up to May, 2017. CT-VC is a lot less invasive, with minimum pain as well as risk for the patients, particularly in that there are no requirements for anaesthesia. It can be used to picture the bladder in a number of planes and offers intraluminal viewing of the bladder from any type of angle. VC is a viable strategy for use in discovery of bladder sores greater than 3 mm. some research studies recognized 77% of sores smaller than 10 mm. determined all the lesions smaller sized than 10 mm in their research of 13 patients. These research studies retrospectively evaluated bladder sores that had been confirmed on CPE.

Keywords: virtual cystoscopy (VC), computed tomography (CT), Urinary Bladder Neoplasm.
