Purpose: Access to MRI in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains among the poorest in the world. The lack of skilled MRI personnel exacerbates access gaps, reinforcing long-standing health disparities. The Scan With Me (SWiM) program aims to sustainably create a network of highly skilled MRI technologists in LMICs who will facilitate the transfer of MRI knowledge and skills to their peers and contribute to the implementation of highly valuable imaging protocols for effective clinical and research use.

Eventually, the lesion was detected on flexible cystoscopy in the area of the right ureteric orifice protruding in the bladder.

Such lesions can be categorized based on their tissue of origin and pathology.
