Early detection and removal of bladder cancer (BC) is crucial to prevent tumor recurrence and progression. Various imaging modalities have been used to diagnose BC, including computed tomography urography, intravenous urography, ultrasound echography, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, cystoscopy, and cystoscopy in conjunction with intravesical instillation of hexaminolaevulinic acid, a photodynamic diagnostic agent. However, all these imaging techniques show a very poor detection rate of small ( Citation Format: Massimo Alfano, Elisa Alchera, Angelina Sacchi, Alessandro Gori, Irene Locatelli, Anna Maria Gasparri, Barbara Colombo, Giulia Anderluzzi, Paolo Armanetti, Luca Minichetti, Andrea Salonia, Angelo Corti, Flavio Curnis.
