Popis: To evaluate diagnostic accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) for local staging of urothelial bladder carcinoma (UBC), a systematic review was performed. Of 2369 records, 20 studies met the inclusion criteria (n=1724). We found a pooled sensitivity and specificity for differentiating between stages ≤T1 and ≥T2 of 0.92 (95% CI 0.88-0.95) and 0.88 (95% CI 0.78-0.94). mpMRI shows high sensitivity and specificity for the differentiation between non-muscle invasive and muscle invasive bladder cancer, but does not appear to be useful for staging per T-stage. It can be used for confirmation when muscle invasive disease is suspected at initial diagnosis.
