Delayed contrast-enhanced MRI to localize Botox after cystoscopic intravesical injection.

Purpose: There is a lack of studies to show localization of botulinum toxins (BoNT) within bladder wall and/or absorption rates. Our study examined the later distribution of BoNTA/gadolinium within the bladder wall by performing a delayed MRI scan after intravesical injection. This potentially may help to explain the level and mechanism at which BoNT may be producing its effect.
