Eighteen patients with rectal carcinoma were examined with computed tomography (CT), before and shortly after preoperative irradiation. Changes in the bladder that could be mistaken for tumor growth did not occur at CT. However, considerable individual variations were seen. Radiation therapy did not result in increased contrast enhancement of the bladder wall after irradiation. The bladder wall thickness increased somewhat during and after treatment and the bladder volume was reduced. Localized thickening with little contrast enhancement was seen in the anterior bladder wall in 3 patients. One case of irradiation cystitis was noted. Edema was seen in the perivesical fat, but could in no case be mistaken for tumor growth.
