Abstract: Urinary bladder cancer has recently been identified as one among the most prevalent malignancies in worldwide. This current study evaluated the current findings to reveal the impact of MRI technology on the diagnostic accuracy of patients with bladder cancer. One hundred six patients with bladder cancer who underwent MRI diagnosis in different hospitals in Iraq were recruited during the period from January 2023 to January 2024. The diagnostic and clinical outcomes of the patients were recorded before and after the examination. A total of 106 patients were undergone to MRI in the detection of urinary bladder cancer. We found that almost of 35.85% indicated with hematuria rothelial Carcinoma (UC) with 42.45%, where carcinoma in situ with high grade got 93.40%. In the assessment of MRI accuracy, positive results by MRI 55.66% as a true positive in terms of the positive value of histopathology, while negative results by MRI with 3.77% a false positive in terms of the negative value of histopathology, where specificity with 93.29%, sensitivity with 89.50%, and diagnostic accuracy with 90.95%. Our results show that MRI is not highly sensitive and accurate in diagnosing bladder cancer patients
