Summary

This trial is studying how well a 3 Tesla MRI works in finding cancer in patients with bladder cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with confirmed bladder cancer who are scheduled for surgery to remove the bladder and lymph nodes. Participants must be able to consent and have no issues that would prevent them from undergoing an MRI, such as allergies to contrast agents or severe kidney problems.
What is being tested?
The study is evaluating how effective a high-powered 3 Tesla MRI is in detecting bladder cancer compared to standard approaches. Patients will undergo this advanced imaging before their planned surgeries.
What are the potential side effects?
While MRIs don't typically cause side effects, some patients may experience discomfort or anxiety due to the enclosed space of the machine (claustrophobia) or reactions to contrast agents used during the procedure.
