Abstract
White light cystoscopy (WL) is the gold standard for the detection of bladder cancer. It can be performed using a rigid or flexible urethrocystoscope. With the more recent introduction of high definition (HD) techniques, WL cystoscopy has been decisively improved. Supplementary optical techniques are also used to improve the detection of bladder cancer. Among these are photodynamic diagnosis (PDD), narrow-band imaging (NBI), S‑technologies of IMAGE1 S, optical coherence tomography (OCT), confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE), and Raman spectroscopy. The aim of the present work is to introduce the techniques and to discuss their current role and future potential in the detection of bladder cancer.Entities:
