Figure 3. In vivo surface (A and D), cross-sectional OCT (B and E), and H&E-stained histologic images (C and F) of normal human bladder (A–C) vs a papillary TCC (D–F). The morphologic details of normal bladder (U, urothelium; LP, lamina propria; M, upper muscularis) were clearly delineated by OCT, but those of papillary TCC diminished. Solid arrows: subsurface blood vessels; dashed arrows: papillary features; dashed circle: TCC, identified by OCT based on increased urothelial heterogeneity; dashed line: boundary with adjacent normal bladder.
